Pattern matching in python sounds like a GREAT idea.

That would be incredible, I really miss pattern matching when writing Python code. Fitting it into the existing style of syntax and the language semantics is a problem though.

Pattern matching in list comprehensions would be awesome too. List comprehensions are very cool in Python but they're so much cooler in Haskell :)
