Sort of tangental but oone thing I have always appreciated about the Python community and Guido is the flexibility and open mindedness in adding features to the language from other languages. I can't remember where I heard/saw it (it was video iirc) but Guido had pointed out there is real value to having static type analysis to a language.
While Python does now have type annotations (pep 484) that are more powerful than Golang (generics) they currently aren't checked. I wouldn't be surprised if future Pythons start readily using these type annotations. At the same time I wouldn't be surprised if Golang never has generic (just my opinion).
