No, because Python does not enforce using advanced concepts. You
can write programs that are as simple as in 1991. A group of developers
always has to find some kind of common style with a chance that some
are penalized. This can happen with every language.

I think this would be useless because advanced concepts exist for
a reason. A simplified spin-off would aquire advanced concepts
over time and would just become a clone of Python.
