Fernando clearly showed that IPython rocks, because CPython suxx.
<sigh/> No, IPython rocks because it focuses on doing one thing well: providing an interactive environment that takes advantage of the many features that Python provides in support. CPython should do the same: specifically, focus on the *language* that we all consider excellent but still can be improved, and on the (still) leading implementation of the language and the stdlib.[1]
so as a python-dev subscriber you should be ashamed of yourself for this proposal already. ;)
ROTFLMAO! No, I still think you're making an awfully big deal of something that doesn't need fixing, and I wish you would stop. Footnotes: [1] Note that this *is* *one* task, because CPython has chosen a definition of "language excellence" that includes prototype implementation of proposed language features and "batteries included".
