The language is getting pretty "complete".  It's certainly mature.  I think
greater emphasis should be placed in two areas in the future: libraries and
performance.  Adding a module to the core doesn't mean the original author
can't continue to support it.  It means s/he may get more help.  Consider
xmlrpclib.  Fredrik Lundh still supports is as far as I know, but it also
lives in the Python core.
