(original) (raw)

PEP 1 states that plain/text is an acceptable value for a PEP's content type, and it is the default value if no content type is specified.

May I propose adding something along the line of: "new PEPs should use restructured Text format", and that reST format becomes the default.

Based on couple tickets in peps repo, it seems like the reST format is preferred anyway, and there have been thoughts about converting text based PEPs into reST format

I hope this is not too controversial.

Discussed this with Guido earlier. He is supportive, and asked me to send email to python-dev :)

Thanks
