The topic of the project is to explore the possibilities of implementing a modeling language for Python that supports Design-by-Contract and Unit-testing. In my research, I came </font><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif">across</font><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'times new roman', 'new york',
times, serif" size="3"> the Docutils project. I was wondering why the project was rejected from the PEP. I also noticed that the Docstring Processing System Framework (PEP-256), was also rejected. The reason given for the rejection of PEP-256 is that, "Proposal seems to have run out of steam." Since PEP-256 serves as a, "Rationale" for PEP-258, I was also wondering if PEP-258 was rejected for the same reason. Both projects seem like worthy pursuits. What other reasons, if any, are there for rejecting them?</font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif" size="3"><br></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif" size="3">Thank you very much for your help.</font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif" size="3"><br></font></div><div><font
