Not exactly.

More like I think that it encourages "theory", and I appreciate Python as
a-a-theoretical.

The counter argument is that Python is so a-theoretical as to not be opposed
to the imposition, with it, of any theoretical approach a practitioner might
find appropriate or want to explore.  And properties fit in there somewhere.
