Um, ALGOL was created in the early 60's of which python's spacing scheme

Just because python came out after C does not change that.
Do you think it might have been possible that Ritchie learned the
lessons of ALGOL of which Rossum spat in his face?
No way.
Some people just never learn from history...

Yup. ALGOL-style languages such as D.
