One good sign is that Python is starting to get alternate implementations.
Why is that a good sign? Perl has been hugely successful with a single implementation.
The language is still defined by a single implementation, though. Hard to say if there will be any similarity to what has happened to lisp.
Lisp has failed famously (for certain definitions of failed) for having so many implementations which results in no common libraries being built up etc.
