I tried to suggest this to Brandon last week or so ago.  See his reply:

http://groups.google.com/groups?q=LISP++group:comp.lang.python+author:Brandon&hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&as_qdr=m&selm=DlV0a.4628%241q2.456778%40newsread2.prod.itd.earthlink.net&rnum=1

(may save time).  I still think that Bandon may be a lot happier with
LISP -- can you tell?
