What's needs to be done to possibly get PEP754 (fpconst) to move ahead and perhaps go into 2.4?
This one seems to have slipped through the cracks. I haven't heard from the author lately; hopefully he hasn't lost interest. In any case, an active champion is needed for progress.

- The implementation URL in the PEP no longer resolves, so that needs to be fixed.
A Google search resulted in: <http://www.analytics.washington.edu/statcomp/projects/rzope/fpconst/> I've updated the PEP.
Last time I saw it, fpconst.py had a Pfizer copyright and license, which makes headaches for everyone.
It needs docs.
It needs a test suite.
Guido has to Pronounce on it.
Is Guido's waiting for your (Tim's) recommendation? Guido wrote, "David, I'll leave the review of this PEP entirely to Tim, if you don't mind". At the time (2003-10-05) Tim wrote:
Guido and I have discussed this in email today. We're both
favorable. It may get buried under feature creep, though (that
is, if the PEP is good so far as it goes, it may be necessary to
make it go farther, addressing some of the other problems
mentioned-- but not solved --by the PEP).Gregory Warnes (the PEP author) had a few questions the next day (2003-10-06); I wasn't copied on replies if any. Shall I forward Gregory's messages to you? I'm copying Gregory on this message.
