Well Python got it from Haskell. I thought I made it clear enough.

Well years ago, I saw a discussion that put this in the context of python's generators being inspired by what was in Icon.

I'm just now looking at Icon code for the first time, but, to me, Python's list comprehension syntax looks more similar to Haskell's than Icon's.
