I think Python 3 is likely what you see in subversion today, plus any PEPs that have been accepted and not yet implemented (there are only few of these). So any higher-reaching goal must wait for Python 4, Python 5, or Python 6. In particular, people have repeatedly requested that the GIL be removed for Python 3. There is nothing remotely resembling a patch implementing such a feature at the moment, so this won't happen.
