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.

If it's easy to do why not? If it's difficult why bother, I find it easy enough to find stuff by searching directly on the PEP index?
