I never directed my comment to Python. That because what I said serves to any language, from C to Python, and including ObjC, Pascal, JS, Ruby, etc. From WP: In computer science, functional programming is a programming paradigm that treats computation as the evaluation of mathematical functions and avoids state and mutable data. FP is a paradigm as OO is too. One thing does not exclude the other. Nothing stands between you and using the best of both worlds, in any language. You just have to think outside of the box. ;)
