I am puzzled.

Things are difficult enough. 

You prefer Smalltalk syntax, Squeak is on the OLPC, and you seem 
interested in the kinds of activities that Squeak, presumably is good at.

Why is there an issue?  Use Squeak.

Can a Squeaklike environment be created in Python??

The answer is either

 yes, but so....

or

 no but so what...

because there is already a Squeak, and Python folks presumably have 
better things to spend there time on.

Like offering alternatives.

Or so it seems to me.
