To Lispers, Python's hyperpowers (reflection and dynamic typing) are just regular Lisp business. Lisp's strength lies exactly in how convenient doing metaprogramming is in Lisp.

There are probably some subtleties and differences in how powerful both systems are (can't say more, I don't know how powerful python's metaprogramming is), but just know that Lisp has practically no limit in how you can extend the language.
