Python also has a powerful implementation of LISP-style lists
This is the second time, since your second coming, you've drawn attention to the amazing similarities between Python and LISP. You've been asked before to elaborate on this. I'd be interested to learn why you feel Python is more LISP-like than, say, Perl.

Note that in this Python mailing list thread the author retracted a similar casual claim to yours:

I hereby once and for ever more retract my casual suggestion that Lisp had or may have had any direct influence on Python. I was clearly in error, in part having specifically mis-remembered some statements I read long ago by Guido, which in retrospect I find I had completely backwards.
