Hi,

I hope this is the right place to post this kind of question. If not I apologize.

I was simply wondering if anyone had been looking into supporting RFC 6920 ( https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6920).

For a simple example of what this is about see https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6920#section-8

This is not the best place. My first take would be "This is a great idea! But it doesn't need to be in core. Write it up and post it to PyPI."

My second would be "there's probably a special interest group (SIG) mailing list" that's more appropriate. See https://mail.python.org/; WebSIG list looks like a good bet. Third take, try python-list at python.org and see what the general Python users say. Many are web developers.

Finally, I am not a web expert, just a long time follower of discussions on these lists. If you are really sure this belongs in the stdlib right now, you could try python-ideas at python.org. That list is for proposing and refining new ideas, this one is more for discussion of stuff that has an implementation in progress and needs fine-tuning.

Happy hacking!

Steve
