CNRI also doesn't really have any developers to spare to work on
Python.  Most of the other development groups at CNRI don't use Python
much beyond a bit of simple scripting.  The only serious Python
hackers left are Greg Ward, Neil Schemenauer, and me.  We're all in
the MEMS Exchange group and are too busy to take up maintaining a CNRI
Python distribution (not to mention that we're also all too sensible
to want to do so).
