Zitat von Brian Curtin <brian at python.org>:

After talking with Martin and several others during the language summit and elsewhere around PyCon, PEP 397 should be accepted. I don't remember who, but some suggested it should just be a regular old feature instead of going through the PEP process. So...does this even need to continue the PEP process?

I don't think PEP 397 can be accepted as it stands; it has too many open issues. However, I am in favor of accepting the proposed feature.

Now that we do have the PEP, I think that should be done properly. I thought you offered to rewrite it. Formally, I could accept the PEP being withdrawn, and the feature integrated anyway, but I still consider that bad style.

So: I can offer to rewrite the PEP to give a full specification of the feature. It might be that I still need some help to provide end-user prose in the PEP if people would want to see that as well.

Regards, Martin
