With due respect, none of these things are particularly exciting
to the mainstream programmer. For Python to "get the attention it
deserves," it needs a native compiler that compiles as effectively
as ACL. Now *that* would get it the attention it deserves.

I would make a wholesale switch to Python for all softare development
if I could use it in performance-sensitive environments.

It doesn't have to be as fast a C, mind you.
