Python has a longtime connection to C and somehow I think Python is a dynamic language in the C tradition, not of any other community, maybe the same thing your are hinting.
Hard to put a finger on what exactly, but Python has never been so interested in purity, rather in pragmatic functionality and it ends up in a place where it gives access to C style idioms and API, see for example the os module.
Maybe it is that Python doesn't have it's own model of the world, but it provides a dynamic language facade to the C model of the world.
