Hmmm. Seems to me that "Is X Standardized" in the given context means having a formal, published standard issued by some Standards organization. While you can discuss the meaning of some so-called standards (like W3C's 'recommendations', RFCs, etc.), Python, IMHO, doesn't fit the label. There is no "Standard" to reference that is implementation, documentation and core-dev's opinion independent to a reasonable degree. I guess MilesAgain gives the best arguments regarding this issue.
