The clue here is "level numbers".

Python did not originate indentation-based syntax.
Occam has it too.

Wow! Did you read the rest of that page? It is so full o
Did Haskell get significant whitespace from Python - doubtful as
Python possibly wasn't visible enough at the time, but you never know.
Whitespace is significant in almost every language: foo bar /= foobar.
Using indentation for program structuring was introduced by Peter
Landin in his ISWIM
My familiarity with Python is a bit rusty, but the influence of
Haskell might be over-stated.
Type classes have gone from Haskell to Clean, Mercury (others?), and
monads have gone to F# but otherwise the functional features of the
current crop Python, Ruby etc. are not much different to what has l
Nice.
It is true that Python picked up some elements of Haskell, but now both
languages are mature enough so that features can go both ways.

This is off topic (almost regardless of the topic), but It gave me a

I was telling a friend about the power and elegance of Haskell. When I
mentioned that it has influenced many other programming languages,
including his favorite language (Python) he retorted by
