Erm, Wikipedia (which is generally excellent on programming topics) seems to disagree with you. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Python_(programming_language) "Influenced by ABC, ALGOL 68,[1] C, Haskell, Icon, Lisp, Modula-3, Perl, Java" Unless you mean it influenced Python indirectly by way of the aforelisted languages...
