I've been using Python since 1.5 and I feel like the language itself has been feature-complete for some time. In the 2.0 era, the big pain points were async and unicode; as demonstrated by, well, how painful Twisted's unicode was. ;) But now if our big paint point is assigning a variable to len(), then in two lines evaluating that variable and printing it out, Python is just trying to find stuff to add. I miss the size and simplicity of old Python. :/

Yeah. I don't like this obsession that so many developers have with adding features without end. I think it's mostly so that they can have something to do; don't think about the bigger problems, just have something to do so that they can fill out their timesheets and submit it at the end of the week.
