There's sure to be a lot of time required to properly implement this.

If you really want a feature like this to be included in Python, then
you should study Python well enough to know what it would take to
implement it, write a PEP, and show that there is community interest in
the feature.  Then you'd better be prepared to contribute the
implementation.

Personally, I find that the ability to have multiple Python interpreter
versions installed on the same system (/usr/local/bin/pythonX.Y) along
with the usually-excellent forward compatibility of old source code to
be an ample security blanket...
