Yes.  I've argued in the past that we should just leave Python's
syntax alone; all the proposed changes usually add 1% more
functionality and aren't worth the pain.  Leave fancy changes to the
hypothetical Python3K or some other future descendent of Python, and
just work on the infrastructure around the language.
