I have seen a fair bit of Python code in the style of Java (as well as some completely unreadable Python). Just because you can be useful in Python doesn't mean you are writing good idiomatic Python code. And if you aren't doing that, then what is the point in using Python?

To be fair, I probably still have a bit of C-stink in my python code. I don't know the idiomatic way to do everything, and I don't try to put everything into list comprehensions by default, but I still think it's an excellent, and fast, language, and have been using it for many years.
