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.

Subscribe to the 'python-ideas' forum for the latest pie-in-the-sky
discussions about how to change Python, including the occasional
contribution from GvR on ideas that take his interest.

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