Because if it were any faster, it would piss off a lot of people.
Python's release cycle is actually closer to 18 months for minor releases
(3.2 -> 3.3, for example), and 10 years for major releases (2.x -> 3.x).
But consider, C and C++ don't have minor releases *at all*. The last
versions of those two languages are C99 and C+98 -- that's FOURTEEN YEARS
since the last version of C++. And Java hasn't had a major feature update
since 2006.
For a programming language with a lot of corporate use, Python already
seems like it changes at the drop of a hat.
