The interest in Python for the Squeak folks seems only that there is a 
larger and more dynamic community of folks devoted to its use and 
continued development.

Somehow.

The possibility that you should as a consequence transition, while here, 
to learning mode from teaching mode might, I would think might, occur to 
you.

But you are in a community that accepts the rejection of empiricism, so 
I guess there is some amount of consistency in point-of-view.

By all means, write the PEP.
