yeah, I agree, use python in the way it was meant to be used. If you're dying in python because it's not as cool as Haskell, but you need to use some existing python code, it's not that hard to run a Haskell program as a child process of python or vice-versa.
Besides, you're not able to do all the point free stuff in python, you can't partially apply an infix function (there is no `map((+2), [1, 2, 3])`.
