I'd very much like a live in a world where Jython and IronPython and MicroPython and Cython and Pyjamas can all catch up and implement Python 3.7, 3.8, and so forth.
I'm inclined to agree that a Python 3.8 PEP in the spirit of the PEP 3003 language moratorium could be a very good idea. Between matrix multiplication, enhanced tuple unpacking, native coroutines, f-strings, and type hinting for variable assignments, we've had quite a bit of syntactic churn in the past few releases, and the rest of the ecosystem really hasn't caught up on it all yet (and that's not just other implementations - it's training material, online courses, etc, etc). If we're going to take such a step, now's also the time to do it, since 3.8 feature development is only just getting under way, and if we did decide to repeat the language moratorium, we could co-announce it with the Python 3.7 release.
