As a Python programmer I'd rather care for smooth integration with code written in Haskell or OCaml than adopting their particular programming idioms. For instance the Python - OCaml bridge is aged and I'm not aware that one between Python and Haskell even exists. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
