Reading Wikipedia, it talks about how it grew out of the ABC programming language, which is exactly what you're describing.

But Python's Wikipedia article doesn't mention that at all. So anyone have knowledge on the claims on it being designed for teaching?

I imagine it probably worked fairly well for that, given its roots, though.

Regardless, interesting.
