Summary: Rule-based logic 

Initial Comment:
It would be awesome to make Python understand rule-
based statements like those in JESS, CLIPS, LISP, and 
PROLOG. In addition to procedural and object-oriented 
principles, Python should use non-algorithmic concepts 
such as facts, rules, constraints, etc. This will 
allow building expert systems in Python and 
making "executable pseudocode" truly high-level. All 
of logic-based systems use the Rete algorithm and lisp-
like syntax. Perhaps with Python's economical, 
intuitive syntax and strong typing the results will be 
better than in other languages.
