What about Smalltalk?  I know so many lifelong programmers that swear
Smalltalk is the _ONLY_ true OO language.  ;)
(see signature at bottom for one of their many rationales)

IMBANERHO[*], Python offers the greatest flexibility overall in the
areas you listed.  (And this from a long-time and unapologetic Perl

However, you'd always be better off making the decision for yourself.
Try them and see what works best for your applications.
