This is a question for people more experienced with Python, but everybody feel free to answer if you feel like you can provide something decent to the discussion.

Also feel free to explain why you feel that way and your experiences with Python and the paradigms.

Neither: it's a piece of shit.

If I had a gun to my head and had to answer, it'd be procedural because scopes are a lie in this language.

I like the cut of your jib

Python is good if you need to write a hundred or two or maybe three lines of code.

Its not good for large programs.

Conversely its good for large systems. Facebook makes all its microservices in python because the data model and how that scales along with data safety matters much more than a microservice taking 10-100 times as long to execute.

I consider it a scripting language. Just one without integer++ for some goddamn reason.
