[Python-Dev] Accepting PEP 3154 for 3.4? (original) (raw)

Hello,

Alexandre Vassalotti (thanks a lot!) has recently finalized his work on the PEP 3154 implementation - pickle protocol 4.

I think it would be good to get the PEP and the implementation accepted for 3.4. As far as I can say, this has been a low-controvery proposal, and it brings fairly obvious improvements to the table (which table?). I still need some kind of BDFL or BDFL delegate to do that, though -- unless I am allowed to mark my own PEP accepted :-)

(I've asked Tim, specifically, for comments, since he contributed a lot to previous versions of the pickle protocol.)

The PEP is at http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-3154/ (should be rebuilt soon by the server, I'd say)

Alexandre's implementation is tracked at http://bugs.python.org/issue17810

Regards

Antoine.
