Java has changed a great deal since 1.6, and includes something like first-class functions. But Java's main benefit over python is the JVM itself, which is extremely well specified and generally a rock-solid piece of kit. Python doesn't have a specification, or alternative implementations (AFAIK) and I think that hurts it.

Python is not specified but CPython serves as a reference implementation. Python has _numerous_ alternative implementations. Jython in Java, IronPython in C#, PyPy in Python (kinda...), and even more lesser-known implementations.
