Where did you get the idea that Go's syntax is inspired by Python ? I don't think I ever saw that claim before.

Array slices, godoc/pydoc, syntax relevance (export names by TitleCasing them), lack of semi-colons, etc. There's even a guide about it.

It's not so much that the syntax was derived from Python (because it's not) as that the language was clearly informed by the authors' experience working commercially with Python, Java, and C projects.
