If Python would create a Py3EE spec and make it an industry standard, provide a reference implementation and attract bluechips like Accenture, Bearing Point, Cap Gemini and IBM, Microsoft would be on the stage in order to "improve" it. Currently Python is still a cute little language, with plenty of bindings but few interesting products, that keeps attention among nerds and some consultants, but nothing more. Java, C++, C# and VB are playing in an own league. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
