Functions in Python and Lisp have the same status. I would say that Python is one of the many modern Lisp derivatives. What Python still lacks is: * A way to augment the language syntax on the fly. (How could I add an "until" statement to Python in my Python application?) * A unified syntax for code and data. (Why use braces for dictionaries instead of indentation?)
