If python is primarily an extension language then why would we want to make
python like LISP? I've read the meta-object protocol book and fail to see
how meta-objects will make python a better extension language. I would
rather see object extensions that allow python to better support scripting
(like instance level method additions, script containers, and events woven
into the object definitions). This would greatly enhance the usable power
of python for extension purposes rather than simply the expressive power.

my two cents - Michael
