<sigh/>
No, IPython rocks because it focuses on doing one thing well:
providing an interactive environment that takes advantage of the many
features that Python provides in support. CPython should do the same:
specifically, focus on the *language* that we all consider excellent
but still can be improved, and on the (still) leading implementation
of the language and the stdlib.[1]

ROTFLMAO! No, I still think you're making an awfully big deal of
something that doesn't need fixing, and I wish you would stop.
Footnotes:
[1] Note that this *is* *one* task, because CPython has chosen a
definition of "language excellence" that includes prototype
implementation of proposed language features and "batteries
included".
