Reference Implementation
If this PEP is accepted, the author will provide a reference implementation of the new classes in pure Python (that can run in CPython, PyPy, Jython and IronPython) and a second one optimized for speed in Python and C, suitable for inclusion in the CPython standard library. The author will also submit the required Tkinter patches. For all the code will be available a version for Python 2.x and a version for Python 3.0 (it is expected that the two version will be very similar and the Python 3.0 one will probably be generated almost completely automatically).
Acknowledgments
The implementation of this PEP, if accepted, is sponsored by Google through the Google Summer of Code program.
I think this should conform to the mew buffer protocol. Assume that it will be in 3.0.
I don't see how work you promised to do for your stipend can be contingent on acceptance into the standard lib. In any case, this should be released at the end of the summer as patches and 3rd party module on PyPI so it can be tested in practice and then proposed for the library. Very few new library modules get accepted before written ;-).
