If you're forced to write Python and you like FP I think it makes sense to try to twist the Python you write towards FP as much as possible. The advice "Stop writing classes" is particularly helpful in my experience. However the "What did we miss?" slide tells it like it is. FP in Python is never going to be like FP in, e.g., Haskell. Moreover, the libraries you use are going to have objects and mutable state everywhere which ends up being very frustrating. If you're not forced not to use FP, I recommend just going with Haskell (or OCaml or Scala or whatever according to your taste).
