Uncommon Uses of Python in Commonly Used Libraries
Check out Coconut (https://github.com/evhub/coconut), which implements an entire functional programming language as a Python superset that compiles to Python bytecode.

Hy 1.0.0, the Lisp dialect for Python, has been released
Not a Lisp, but also an interesting take on a functional programming language that transpiles to Python is Coconut (https://coconut-lang.org/).
I'd be seriously interested in hearing from people that have actually used any of these two and what their experience was.

> to be part of the Python ecosystem
I'd rather use Python if I'm in the Python ecosystem. So many attempts were made in the past to make a new language compatible with the Python ecosystem (look up hylang and coconu -- https://github.com/evhub/coconut). But at the end of the day, I'd come back to Python because if there's one thing I've learnt in recent years it's this:
minimize dependencies at all costs. - I modified and hacked away xonsh source code
- Show HN: I mirrored all the code from PyPI to GitHub

Leaving Haskell Behind
Have you had a look at Coconut? I don't know if it'll push all your buttons but whenever I hear someone who's reasonably content with Python but wants more FP goodies I always think of it. https://github.com/evhub/coconut . It's basically a superset of Python3 that transpiles into Python3 and is compatible with MyPy. I don't think I'd code Python w/o it ever again assuming I had the choice. The biggest negative for me is that there's no IDE support for the language last I looked, though of course you can work with the transpiler output (plain Python) in your favorite Python IDE. It might be fun to play around with, I know that I really enjoyed it but then I got spoiled by the language+tooling of Scala3, but if you don't have that option ...
