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?)
