Iolanguage has many of these advantages but is far slower, lacks the reach of python's standard library and (I think) also lacks python's awesome list-comprehension syntax.

Lua is prototype based. It's also quite fast. What if we ported the Python standard library and added list-comprehension?

Well, there's already Lunatic Python, so any Python libraries you lack can just be called from a hosted Python VM instance. Also, I think It's possible to add comprehension-like syntax to Lua already.
