It's easy to get to a shallow similarity with Python. I use elpy for Python development in emacs. My development style is highly iterative and I tend toward functional paradigms. I build up a Python program by evaluating lots of small pieces, slowly building those into the structure of my program. I don't write code into a saved file without first evaluating it in a linked REPL session. Python does not support the same style of connecting to a live process, like Lisp does. Nor does it have the same facilities of redefining components in a running system. The surface level actions look similar between my Lisp development and my Python development.
