I think what Chris asking is: what is the feature of Common-Lisp
closures that Python closures share but other languages don't?

I think what he is implying is that there is no such feature.  Python
closures are no more "Common-Lisp-style" than they are "Scheme-style"
or "Smalltalk-like" or any other language-like.
