Not to pick on Mark, but everyone seems to think the PEP needs updating but nobody's stepping up to offer patches. Anthony and I are both about out of round tuits...

What Skip said. For a topic generating this much heat, volunteers have been thin on the ground.

In case it's not clear - there is an enormous amount of work that could be put into the PEP. Collecting posts from the 2+ years that this topic was active on python-dev is a mammoth task. It's also something that parallelises well. Please, if you care about this (and it's obvious from the volume of posts that lots of people do), spend a bit of time adding entries to the wiki. References to python-dev posts from the archives, in particular, are very nice.

I have a crapload of other things I'd much prefer to be working on, and help would be much appreciated.

Anthony
