Python lacks pipelines indeed. But there are several Python libraries
for running pipelines available:

* http://pypi.python.org/pypi/iterpipes/
* http://pypi.python.org/pypi/pipeline/

I'd say Python is not so nice language for other reasons, like
metaclasses, complex attribute lookups, etc. Anyway, I believe it is
quite OK for practical purposes.
