It's not a language change*.  There is nothing for Jython, IronPython, 
Brython, etc., to implement.  No scoping rule changes, nothing.  The 
magic in Steven's name space is implemented by the metaclass by 
(presumably) rebuilding all the functions -- and that is how he manages 
the effective scoping rules.

*Okay, it is not a language change the same way the addition of Enum was 
not a language change.  On the other hand, asyncio did have some 
language changes (await, async, etc.).
