[Python-Dev] PEP 360 has outdated contents (original) (raw)

Hello all,

PEP 360 - “Externally Maintained Packages” seems to have outdated contents. First of all, I don't think Optik and wsgiref are externally maintained anymore (both seem unmaintained by their original authors). Second, the version numbers mentioned there could be out of date too (especially for ElementTree whose stdlib copy has recently been bumped by Florent). Third, it seems json should be added to the list, despite the prominent warning at the beginning that:

“No new modules are to be added to this PEP. It has been deemed dangerous to codify external maintenance of any code checked into Python's code repository. Code contributers should expect Python's development methodology to be used for any and all code checked into Python's code repository.”

Regards

Antoine.
