We had put off consideration of PEP 242 Numeric kinds until June 2002 when a meeting of some interested parties was to occur but the meeting didn't occur. I have a draft implementation and users of it but my feeling is that although correct and useful the PEP is not useful enough to put it in the standard library. Since it really only interests scientific programmers I propose simply making it a separate deliverable on the Numeric site and withdrawing the PEP.
