[Python-Dev] Support keyword in PEP URL? (original) (raw)

Hi,

What do you think of adding an optional identifier to a PEP to get a readable URL?

Example: http://www.python.org/dev/peps/qualname/ instead of http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0395/

Other examples:

305: csv 450: statistics 3156: asyncio

An identifier must only contain lower case letters (a-z), digits (0-9), dot (.) and underscore (). It should be short (max. 20 characters)... and unique. Regex: ^[a-z0-9.]{1,20}$.

For draft PEP, the identifier may change. If it's an issue (dead URL), we may allow multiple identifiers (ex: add also "tulip" for 3156), or only add an identifier to accepted PEPs.

I don't know yet how it can be implemented at server side.

Victor
