Yes, but Python also supports the functional style to some extent. > List is a declarative, > functional dynamic language Lisp is only a functional language in that it support both functional and imperative programming styles. Duck typing is almost identical to latent typing in Lisp. And, Common Lisp at least is object orientated. > -> those two languages have different scopes. Their scope is actually very similar. Learn about lisp and you will soon discover their similarity. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
