Beyond the moratorium

2010-08-12 Thread Vito 'ZeD' De Tullio
Hi all.

I know, maybe I'm just lazily speculating, but I'm curious about what's 
next, in python, when GvR will stop the moratorium and will let changes in 
the language.

I don't know what to expect... some syntax sugar about concurrent 
programming? static types? an erlang-style bang (!) process message 
passing?

One of the reasons the moratorium was established was to reduce the time 
spent in overly speculative discussions about various features that will 
most likely not end up in the language anyway. Also note that your examples 
above span both the language and the stdlib, which are put under different 
constraints by the moratorium.

You might also want to look at PEP 3152, which was just posted.
