Actually, an even bigger difficulty is the rejection of programmable syntax by Guido, both for the near and distant future: "Programmable syntax is not in Python's future -- or at least it's not for Python 3000. The problem IMO is that everybody will abuse it to define their own language. And the problem with that is that it will fracture the Python community because nobody can read each other's code any more." http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-3000/2006-April/000286.html.
