From: "Guido van Rossum" <guido@python.org>

Maybe it's time for a quick informative PEP explaining where, when and how version numbers, copyright dates and the like should be updated? This info is currently spread all over the place (PEP 101 and 102 have some, the rest in in the minds of various PythonLabs folks).

This PEP should also define the policy for the distutils version number - when there is one. Maybe distutils should simply use the Python version number, because Python is released more often than distutils.
