It wasn't meant to be a criticism of your implementation - just a comparison of the two languages for this particular task. Haskell happens to be very concise for writing mathematical code. I love Python too, but for different reasons (easy to prototype, great libraries, flexible).
I've noticed that people with a mathematical background tend to be very attracted to Haskell. There's a great blog post by Dan Piponi enumerating eleven reasons to use Haskell as a mathematician:

- jordigh 13y agoI have a mathematical background, and I am not that attracted to Haskell. And I've tried. It seems that Haskell attracts logicians, which are their own particular subspecies of mathematicians, but I think far more mainstream mathematicians are attracted to Python. Sage is a prominent example of how easy it is for mathematicians to get into Python.
