Can one use Python to learn and even apply Functional Programming?

[Sam]

I would like to learn and try out functional programming (FP). I love Python 
and would like to use it to try FP. Some have advised me to use Haskell instead 
because Python is not a good language for FP. I am sort of confused at the 
moment. Is Python a dysfunctional programming language to apply FP? Can the 
more experienced Python users advise?
