*shudder* Python is more like the antithesis of good syntax IMHO. Sure, you 
could have a language with D's capabilities where the syntax had been adjusted 
to be more python-like, but I don't know what the benefit would be. 
Regardless, it's not like we're going to change D's syntax at this point. That 
would be king of breaking changes which wasn't worth what it cost.

I expect that the closest you would get would be some project which 
essentially created its own language and simply converted it to D when 
compiling.
