I know it's the upteen-thousandth time it's been discussed, but removal of the GIL in 3.x would probably be pretty big carrots for some. I know the arguments about performance hits on single core systems etc, and the simplifications it brings, but given every entry level machine these days is multicore, is it time to reconsider some of those points ? Not here perhaps - python-ideas or c.l.p, but if bigger carrots are wanted... Just saying. (As time goes on, lack of a GIL in Ironpython makes it more attractive for multicore work) Not suggesting this happens, but just noting it would probably be a big carrot.
