While Guido does not, that I know of, credit CLU as Python's direct inspiration, I think it (and Barbara Liskov) as the originator of Python's data model. I believe she thought of the call-by-object semantics as something of an innovation.
I don't think she can claim credit for that, seeing as as Lisp was built around it. She may have invented the *term* "call by object" (unnecessarily, in my opinion) but the idea wasn't new. -- Greg -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
