Hi,
I rejected my own PEP 511 "API for code transformers" that I wrote in January 2016:
https://github.com/python/peps/commit/9d8fd950014a80324791d7dae3c130b1b64fdace
Rejection Notice:
""" This PEP was rejected by its author.
This PEP was seen as blessing new Python-like programming languages which are close but incompatible with the regular Python language. It was decided to not promote syntaxes incompatible with Python.
This PEP was also seen as a nice tool to experiment new Python features, but it is already possible to experiment them without the PEP, only with importlib hooks. If a feature becomes useful, it should be directly part of Python, instead of depending on an third party Python module.
Finally, this PEP was driven was the FAT Python optimization project which was abandonned in 2016, since it was not possible to show any significant speedup, but also because of the lack of time to implement the most advanced and complex optimizations. """
