Having just spend the last few weeks writing Python, this comment will come off as bitter, but - really? Out of all the shitty syntax things, this sort of thing is what they're willing to fix?

Just curious, which pep would you prefer they do first? Or do you have a grudge with something not addressed in existing peps?

Oh but I can find grudges in anything :)

(as to your first point, if you'll allow me to be even more snarky and cynical as I already have been in this thread (might as well go all out now), the fictional 'pep' I would like to see most is 'method and apparatus to instill some realism and humility in the average Python advocate's conception and description of the language'. But here too I will freely admit that I'm probably susceptible to significant observation bias and/or bad luck, and that others could have radically different experiences from myself.)
