Python is an *(object-oriented), strictly, dynamically typed, lexically-scoped  *(programming language). Its object model is quite flexible (single-dispatch, metaclasses, everything is an object), and somewhat similar to that of _(Smalltalk). Python has some _(functional) programming features: first-class functions, map(), reduce(), list comprehensions, and lexical closures. Python is a very "free-form" language with very few ways of invariant construction.
