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. :/
