Unless I hear any objections, I plan to adjust the current PEP statuses as follows some time this weekend:

Move from Accepted to Finished:

389  argparse - New Command Line Parsing Module              Bethard
391  Dictionary-Based Configuration For Logging              Sajip
3108  Standard Library Reorganization                         Cannon
3135  New Super

Spealman, Delaney, Ryan

Move from Accepted to Withdrawn (with a reference to Reid Kleckner's blog post) 3146 Merging Unladen Swallow into CPython Winter, Yasskin, Kleckner

The PEP 3118 enhanced buffer protocol has some ongoing semantic and implementation issues still to be worked out, so I plan to leave that at Accepted. Ditto for PEP 3121 (extension module finalisation), since that doesn't play nicely with the current 'set everything to None' approach to breaking cycles during module finalisation.

The other Accepted PEPs are either packaging standards related or genuinely not implemented yet.

Cheers, Nick.
