No, but it's not easy, and it's not necessarily succinct.  For an
existence proof, see Guy Steele's "Common Lisp the Language".   I
don't think it's a coincidence that Steele worked on the readable "The
Java Language Specification" either, or on the original Scheme spec. 
Google should hire him to work on Python docs now ;-)
