Joe Gregorio, who does a column on using Python for REST applications wrote a brief discussion of how Python and Java differ. He makes some good points, but confuses first class functions (C has non-member functions and they are not exactly first class, that requires passing semantics and being able to create them on the fly, both of which Python has), closures (Python almost has true closures, but not quite), and continuations (python has generators and soon co-routines which do some of the continuation work, but not all).
