Well, as Peter Norvig put it, "Basically, Python can be seen as
a dialect of Lisp with «traditional» syntax" (see
http://norvig.com/python-lisp.html).
I think Drew meant something along the lines "a stable, dynamically
typed language with a bunch of built-in datatypes, a rich library, an
(optional) object system and integrated tools like a bytecode compiler,
interactive debugger, a docstring conformance checker etc."
