How would you argue that? I don't think a language can be considered core functional if it doesn't at least support pure functions.

Yea, you're probably right. I meant more stylistically, in that python lets you export functions from files, and it's style of OOP feels way more basic and bolted on than ruby, which gives you lots of different ways to do OOP and throw state around (classes, modules, etc).
