having the question come up twice within the last month finally inspired me to write the current status of the topic down in a deferred PEP: http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-3150/
Thanks for writing that up. I like the idea in general.
As for input from the "major Python implementations", we currently do similar things internally in Cython for optimisation purposes, so a syntactic 'where' clause with expression-local scope would be trivial to implement on our side as most of the infrastructure is there anyway.
