Fix the GIL.

Python 3 isn't getting used because it breaks backwards compatibility without offering many meaningful benefits. Sure, the syntax clean ups and the new sugar are nice and all. But you don't rewrite a working code base because of "nice".

So, fix the GIL; Replace the spaces indentations with tabs; Take out the stupid 79 line limit off PEP8; Even clean up the standard library... After all, if you don't need to worry about backwards compatibility, then you might as well re-do it all properly.

PEP8 revised the 79 char recommendation to 99: http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0008/#maximum-line-length

It still doesn't agree with you about spaces vs. tabs though.
