Sure, Python is not a very functional language and will never be. I liked Python a lot in the past, and still use it as quick tool, because I know it well and its simplicity for practical usage is hard to beat, but the future of SW development is something more like Haskell, in my view. What I meant was that the author complains that Python does encapsulation badly, because it doesn't have private/public. But that itself is, IMHO, an obsolete view which ignores functional programming.
