I know this has been discussed many times before and I know that  
Guido is against the change.  But I'll just add (again) that / 
requiring/ C++ to build Python will cause some of us pain.  Our  
highly embedded/extended app has to twist and turn in order to link  
against one external C++ library that really has no need being C++.   
It's manageable on Windows and Linux, but some platforms (e.g. starts  
with "so" and ends with "is") are really quite painful.
