Heh, might as well just use another language at this time. Guido himself seemed to be very pissed off at the common lispers for being forced to add some functional language features. You can see it from the crappy implementations of single-arity lambdas, non lazy map, filter, reduce, etc. The language will never catch up to the times, as evident in the lame feature list in python 3. Most python users seem blissfuly ignorant of modern languages and Guido doesn't seem to like learning new stuff either.
