Take a look at Cobra.

    http://cobra-language.com/docs/python/

    http://cobra-language.com/

It is similar to Python, but with a quite a few nice extras and few improved things (eg. no "self", no ":", ...)

Possible negatives are:
    * Requires either .NET or Mono frameworks.
    * lack of 3rd party libraries ??
