So you update a single function without updating the global state, using a vile hack. In CL the entire state is saved.

As others here, I don't understand how those features (seamless continuation of a program with the exact state) could possibly work in Python.

What I do know is that the Python community has a propensity for claiming that approximations of complex features by gigantic hacks work and are sound, while they are not.

The Python community also has an extreme tolerance for unsound and buggy software that is propped up by censoring those who complain. Occasional complaints are offset by happy (and selected) marketing talks at your nearest PyCon.
