People confuse having fewer keywords/concepts to learn for readability, which is not really the same thing.
Someone who is equally expert at Java and Python will probably consider Java to be more readable.

The concept of "readable" is not really relevant for experts, because, well, they are experts. Being an expert automatically means you can read almost any line of code and know everything it does.
Everyone else appreciates and is more efficient working with code that is intuitive to grasp.
I have many years of experience with Java, and rarely use Python... and I'd say Python is, in general, easier to read. There's generally a lot less "having to go look at _other_ code to know what _this_ code is doing".
