FWIW, I dislike mixing the two forms (because it still prevents the 
structure layout changing - or introduces bugs if it does - though I 
guess in Python's case that's not likely to happen).

PEP 7 doesn't mention anything about this and I doubt a wholesale 
conversion effort to the C99 syntax would be desirable, but perhaps a 
recommendation that if a new initializer is being added then the whole 
expression should be changed to the C99 syntax is reasonable.
