Lisp is frequently both of those. It's rare to see purely "functional"
Lisp code (i.e. no use of mutable state).

Also, Python does have the ability to separate the read and eval, but it's
far more work than doing the same thing in Lisp, and you have to learn the
AST (Abstract Syntax Tree) structure, which isn't something you'd
otherwise learn (OTOH, Lisp's syntax *is* the parse tree). Consequently,
hardly anyone actually uses this feature.
