Just checked it in as PEP 478. It should show up here in a few minutes: http://legacy.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0478/

Thanks. Some updates on specific things either already accepted, or under consideration for inclusion:

Already implemented:

PEP 465 (matrix multiplication operator): http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0465/ Standard streams default to the "surrogateescape" error handler if ASCII is reported as the IO encoding (improves tolerance of the POSIX C locale)

Already accepted:

PEP 461 (binary printf-style formatting):

http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0461/ PEP 471 (os.scandir): http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0471/

Under consideration (in addition to the items already listed in the PEP):

PEP 432 (simplifying the startup sequence)
PEP 475 (retry system calls failing with EINTR)
Improved Windows console Unicode support (see

https://pypi.python.org/pypi/win_unicode_console for details) Changing the encoding and error handling of an existing stream (http://bugs.python.org/issue15216)

(432 was previously listed as deferred, but it went back on my todo list once 3.4 was out the door)

Regards, Nick.
