why brackets & commas in func calls can't be ommited? (maybe it could be PEP?)

This is not true, there is no shorter code lines:

foo bar baz
foo(bar,baz)

And the "more readable" part certainly depends on the habits of the user -
to me, it's harder to read.

Apart from that, even if both statements were true, I doubt there is even
the slightest chance of including it - after all, you'd have to keep around
the "old" way of doing things anyway, and thus you'd end up with two styles
of coding - certainly _not_ something anybody in the python developer
community is interested in.
