I am not a core developer, but I just kind of feel its hypocritical to oppose always using brackets for the development of python

If we were being really pythonic, we would write all the C code without any braces at all, and feed it through a filter that adds them based on indentation. End of argument. :-) No argument, an extension: If we were being really pythonic, we would re-implement CPython in Python, with a Python-to-C option (Cython?), and then we wouldn't need to worry about using braces for block delimiters. So what I can take away from this is pypy is the pythonic python.
