I don't care so much about writing idiomatic code anymore. For example I tend to write python like javascript. Mostly only use lists and dicts (JSON basically), while ditching the whole OOP/class concepts for the most part. What I prefer is more or less a language-independent style, which makes it easy to port code at least between languages with similar paradigms.

that is exactly how you are supposed to write idiomatic python

Surely that depends on what you are writing.
