I think you seem a bit impatient with Python. I find it useful for small quick things. For example string processing or web-scraping. And I do not give a toss whether they call it "object-oriented" or not. Lets call it stuff-oriented or whatevva.

However, on the OO topic... We who are firmly rooted in C++ have a rather strict definition of OO. There are other ways of looking at the term. I warmly recommend this article on the history of OOP (or "OOP"!). The grandfather of the term, Alan Kay, has said among other things:

“I made up the term ‘object-oriented’, and I can tell you I didn’t have C++ in mind.”
“I’m sorry that I long ago coined the term “objects” for this topic because it gets many people to focus on the lesser idea. The big idea is messaging.”
