Following an earlier discussion on python-ideas [1], we would like to propose the following PEP for review. Discussion is welcome. The PEP can also be viewed in HTML form at http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0408/ A big +1 from me.
Actually a pretty big -1 from me.
I'd prefer to see the standard library getting smaller, not bigger, and packages being upgradeable independently from the Python version as a result.
Every time I see things like the following I cry a little inside:
try: try: from py2stdliblocation import FooBar as Foo except ImportError: from py3stdliblocation import foo as Foo except ImportError: from pypilocation import Foo
Now we're talking about having to add preview into that mix too?
