True. I wasn't claiming that most of Python itself came from Haskell; just the things I liked most about it. But you're still right - there are probably things that I liked about Python that didn't really come from Haskell - but Haskell has them, nonetheless. I wonder if ABC's layout rules were inspired by ML and/or Landin's off-side rule, or were developed independently.
