• PEP 435, a standardized "enum" module
• PEP 436, a build enhancement that will help generate introspection information for builtins
• PEP 442, improved semantics for object finalization
• PEP 443, adding single-dispatch generic functions to the standard library
• PEP 445, a new C API for implementing custom memory allocators
• PEP 446, changing file descriptors to not be inherited by default in subprocesses
• PEP 450, a new "statistics" module
• PEP 451, standardizing module metadata for Python's module import system
• PEP 453, a bundled installer for the *pip* package manager
• PEP 454, a new "tracemalloc" module for tracing Python memory allocations
• PEP 456, a new hash algorithm for Python strings and binary data
