One of the things I'm most excited about in Python is the new asyncio that Guido was talking about. I hoping that with an IOLoop in the standard library and built in Futures, that many of the synchronous network libraries available today will be able to present a synchronous mode and an asynchronous mode. The big strength of NodeJS is the async ecosystem, but Python could catch up quickly if asyncio really takes off.
