Not in any way. Lua is not inspired by or based on Python.

It is a completely different language, which you would understand if you knew either of them.

Lua:

function hello()
print("Hello, world!")
end

hello()

Python:

def hello():
print("Hello, world!")

hello()

You are getting it wrong.

Lua is beautiful.

Python is cancer.

@Lock

My opinion is always correct.

No one cares about yours because you have no power here.

Lua is easier.
And it's a good language to learn.
It's used a lot in game development.

In my opinion no one uses Python for the language, they use it for the huge standard libraries.

x = 1

Lua:

if x == 1 then
print('is 1')

Python:

if x == 1:
print('is 1')

Just because they share the same general syntax roots doesn't make them similar languages.
