Guido can speak to the future; Python 2.3 speaks 
to the near future:

* no new syntax
* only one new builtin function
* the bool type for readability
* several new or improved library modules enriching
   the list of what can be done easily or quickly in python.
* several usability improvements (extended slices, codec callbacks,
   use of zip archives, support for international source encodings).
* many bug fixes and performance enhancements
* constantly improving documentation and a more complete test suite

Who wouldn't want all that?
