Is this a true statement?

Nothing.  But it wouldn't be Pythonic -- you would no longer
be using Python.

What's to prevent you from doing something like

import c_compile

func = c_compile.function(params = ("i", "j"),
                          defaults = {"j": 10},
                          returns = types.IntegerType,
                          code = """
return i + j;
""")

>>> func(i = 3)
13
>>>

Again, nothing.  But few would say this should be considered
a Python program.

Whereas in C++ using special per-class allocators is very
C++-ic.
