Hello all,

The updated PEP 448 (https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0448/) is implemented now based on some early work by Thomas Wouters (in 2008) and Florian Hahn (2013) and recently completed by Joshua Landau and me.

To be clear, the PEP will probably be useful for one single line of Python code every 10000. This is a very weak case for such an intrusive syntax addition. I would support the PEP if it only added the simple cases of tuple unpacking, left alone function call conventions, and didn't introduce **-unpacking.

Barring that, I really don't want to review the patch and I'm a rather decided -1 on the current PEP.

Regards

Antoine.
