wish list for python

does anyone know where i can find the current wish-list or to-do list
for futer python releases?

Does anyone know if there is a play to allow non-evaluatable statements
to return values?    I'm only a week to this language so far but it
seems very strange to me (coming from a list background) that i cannot
somehow say
    x = if a:
     then b
     else c

or

     x = for i in some-sequence:
	        blah blah blah.


and what about something like the following?

     x = cond:
         a > 1:
             0
         a > 10:
             1
         a > 100:
             2
         True:
             -1
