Yes, but actually much of that is slated for removal from the Python language in future versions. See

I still can't believe that Guido will get away with this...

Yes. Many people I know state the functional part as a big reason why they chose python. Basically, before Python 3000 a number of scenarios are thinkable : - The python community will just bite their lip and take it. - There'll be some skirmishes and the proposal will get shot down after a small revolution. (not likely) - python will get a second -- more functional -- branch coexisting with the standard. I personally can see this last scenario happen, for some reason. I know it's not even being developed yet, but does anyone know what date python 3000 is aiming at? s.
