These are good reasons for why people might prefer python over other imperative languages, though basically all these points also apply to Haskell/OCaml/F#/etc., though some people would still say that a lot of things there look like line noise.

I think the GP's point was that functional languages give you similar benefits, but with more uniform and disciplined behavior of many language features. Why FP is not more widely used compared to imperative language is another topic though.
