2 line tic tac toe
Hissp is a Python library that can compile a whole program into one Python expression.

What's the most hilarious use of operator overloading you've seen?
If you want Python to be as customizable as Lissp, check out Hissp (and Hebigo).

Pythoneers here, what are some of the best python tricks you guys use when progrmming with python
Hissp is really cool for metaprogramming Python. There's also macropy, but it's harder to use.

Lush – Lisp-like language for deep learning designed by Yann LeCun
I prefer https://github.com/gilch/hissp, where Hy has to use shims to pretend statements are expressions, Hissp just targets the expression subset in the first place. (though as you mentioned, hy has a lot of literature and support around it, where as you're going to have to find your own way around hissp)

A Python-compatible statically typed language erg-lang/erg
No shortage of options, e.g. Dg, Mochi, Coconut, and Hebigo (based on Hissp[1]).

Other than having a wider range of libraries and beingthus being more "general purpose" and "practical" is there anything that makes Python an intrinsically better programming language than Lisp?
If you want Lisp metaprogramming plus Python ecosystem, check out Hissp
- Lisp.py

What are some amazing, great python external modules, libraries to explore?
Hissp is really interesting. Read through the docs and you'll understand Python more deeply. It works well with Toolz and Pyrsistent.

Hy 1.0.0, the Lisp dialect for Python, has been released
I haven't used Hy, but I am the maintainer of a Basilisp which also compiles to Python and aims for reasonably close compatibility with Clojure if you're interested.

Why is there no Clojure to Python Compiler / Transpiler?
I've been working on Basilisp quietly for years. It compiles into Python source code (using Python's ast module), though it's intended to work more like Clojure JVM than like ClojureScript.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing hissp and basilisp you can also consider the following projects:
hy - A dialect of Lisp that's embedded in Python
jedhy - Autocompletion and code introspection for Hy.
phel-lang - Phel is a functional programming language that transpiles to PHP. A Lisp dialect inspired by Clojure and Janet.
ghdl - Binary Manager for Github Releases
hy-lisp-python - examples for my book "A Lisp Programmer Living in Python-Land: The Hy Programming Language"
biff - A Clojure web framework for solo developers.
