The reason I wrote that "it would be nice to be able to write"

is that it reads naturally.

Reads naturally? For whom? "Readability counts" does not mean "make it sound like english as much as possible". There are good reasons for not having computer languages written in human language. If that's really what you want, go join Dave Parker and Flaming Thunder. Or write that preprocessor that someone keeps yammering about and have it take code the way you want to write it and convert it to actual Python. Would be an interesting experiment, anyway.
