I believe Python needs to become more independent of CPython, for Python's long term health.
Since 1997, Python has been defined independently of CPython. There are numerous documents that define the language semantics for the benefit of other implementations. Multiple implementations have somehow managed to exist without any sort of ISO standard. Can you explain what would be improved by having a formalized standard? So far this thread has just been vague ideas that a bureaucratic procedure will somehow help things, without showing a problem. ChrisA
