Frankly, Python is just generally 'better' these days.
Maybe not AS 'concise' but more 'readable' AND easier
to understand six months from now. The speed is now
'adequate' and Python-4 is supposed to be even faster.

Where are you getting your information?  There are no plans for
Python 4.

 I did.

   Umm ... I've seen a lot of juicy details

   No, it won't show up this year - but MAYBE
   next year. In any case they promise high
   compatibility with Py3. The goal is more
   'optimization' than underlying structure.

   The PLAN is far fewer diffs than between P2 and P3,
   just more optimization.

 What is the basis for that claim?
 Maybe you're right.  If so, you shouldn't have any difficulty citing a
credible source.

   Wanna pay me for that much re-research ?
   This is usenet - take what you can get.
   In any case, Python development is hardly
   a big secret. Do some searching.
