As mentioned previously [0], the Steering Council decided to switch from python-dev to Discourse (discuss.python.org). We're aware that Discourse is not perfect. The previous mail thread [0] lists various shortcomings, as well as some workarounds. However, we don't see anything that would block Python development. Practically, the switch means that: - New PEPs should be announced in the PEPs category on Discourse (rather than on this list), and - The Devguide will list Discourse, rather than mailing lists, as the primary communication channel. Note that you can have development-related discussions anywhere, as long as you (eventually) include all relevant people. You're welcome to continue using python-dev and other mailing lists, IRC, in-person sprints, etc. But for PEP-level changes, we believe python-dev no longer reaches the proper audience. For the related docs changes, see [peps-2775] and [devguide-945]. Note that this is documentation, not law – if something is unclear or doesn't make sense, please ask for clarification or propose edits.
