+# Dreams
+
+## Technical
+
+- C style increment and decrement operator (++): +=1 doesn't feel right.
+- ImportError debugger: Sometimes an error in a library causes a simple ImportError with no hope of trace back.
+- Canonical packaging method or library: No more distutils vs. setuptools vs. wheel [issue 99](https://bitbucket.org/pypa/wheel/issue/99/cannot-exclude-directory), workarounds are not solutions.
+- Canonical package installer: No more pip vs easy_install vs [...]
+- Short hand method for super: Feels wasteful to keep writting super(Class, self).method(*args, **kwargs)
+- Better stale bytecode detection: No more having to hand delete .pyc files after a git pull
+- Fix or warning for some quirky syntax: (,) or a = 1,
+- True class private methods/attributes
+- Builtin syntax, PEP8 checker: Something like flake8 *in* the interpreter
+- In-place sorting: Sort a list without creating a new list
+- Selectable sorting algorithms: No one single algorithms is a perfect fit for all cases (quicksort, mergesort, insertionsort)
+- Anonymous classes
+- Ability to freeze/compile distributable executables or libraries
+- Just like Unicode, default UTC aware date/time handling by default
+- Sensible built-in HTTP, URL and date/time libraries like Requests, FURL and Arrow
+- Get rid of if \__name__ == "\__main__": a Python module should be a script or a library, not both
+- Better default shell: autocomplete is a must have feature so is interactive method and attribute inspection
+- A case/switch statement, nested if elif else reduce readability, a dictionary of callables feels hackish
