I'm not really a Python programmer, but all this perplexes me. Python 3 seems not that Earth shatteringly different, when compared to the previous versions. What are the plans for new and ambitious things happening? (In Python 4?) Edit: Preferably in a backwards compatible way. Edit: No big plans in threading, functional programming, etc? No OO extensions? Etc...

What sort of ambitious things?

No Big plans on threading: Developer and Patch needed. Functional programming: No one has proposed it, Developer and Patch needed. There's a trend here - developers propose things for inclusion and changes to python based on needs, availability of time and skill. See the entire PEP system: http://www.python.org/dev/peps/ http://www.python.org/dev/peps/ We add new things in almost every release. If someone proposed a big pep for something on your list, it would be discussed, and added to a release. For example, http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0380/ http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0380/ is coming when the moratorium on language features expires.
