Hi,

I knew that I had to rewrite my PEP 540, but I was too lazy. Since Guido explicitly requested a shorter PEP, here you have! https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0540/ Trust me, it's the same PEP, but focused on the most important information and with a shorter rationale ;-)

Congrats on the rewriting! The shortening is appreciated :-)

One question: how do you plan to test for the POSIX locale? Apparently you need to check at least for the "C" and "POSIX" strings, but perhaps other aliases as well?

Regards

Antoine.
