I can say it stronger. Any resemblance between Python and Scheme or
Lisp is purely a coincidence. Neither language is in Python's
ancestry, at least not explicitly; I'd never used or tried to learn
Scheme when I started Python (still haven't) and my Lisp experience
was limited to copying Emacs startup code from friends (still is).
