I would say it's not a case of ambiguity but that you want the language
syntax to provide you hints that are not directly relevant to the logic
of a statement.
if mylist: # unambiguous check for whether mylist evaluates to boolean True
if mylist == []: # gives you a hint that mylist is meant to be an empty
# or a non-empty list
But what if I have:
process(mylist)
where is my hint? Why is hint required in an if statement but not
required in other cases when mylist is used: function calls, loops,
summation, etc?
The point is, if variables have good names, the hint is not necessary
and if variables have terrible names, you have bigger problems to deal
with.

Fun fact: few language designers claim they took all the _worst_
features from other languages, or that they took a random sampling of
worst, best and middling features.

The idea is that copying should always be explicit so that if you don't
want the object to be copied, you pass it around and change it as
needed, and if you want the copy, you make a copy explicitly.
It makes sense to me because if you had a large sequence or mapping and
passed it to a hundred (or a thousand) functions, you'd have a hundred
or thousand copies - not good for performance. When you need a copy -
make a copy, what can be simpler than that?

But it's not a function, it's a function definition! Why are you not
demanding 'function definition' instead? function implies the function
object, which is what you use after you define the function definition.
Def is a bit aesthetically better and unambiguous (I thought you were a
fan of that?). func sounds like you work on a tough project and get too
deep in it and forget to shower for a few weeks no I mean days, what a
silly mistake to make (I guess I could just go back and fix it), but my
point is, function would work too but def is perfectly short and clear.

ruby, unix shells, c preprocessor also use elif; perl uses elsif, php
uses elseif.
It's a judgement call, I for one like elif a bit better because it's
shorter without sacrificing clarity.

It's been used for many important projects by a huge number of big
companies:
http://www.python.org/about/success/
Unlike Java and C#, it's not backed by a marketing effort of a large
company, so its success is entirely due to its value.
