I'm one of the PEP editors at the end of peps-at-python-dot-org; Barry Warsaw is the other. Since before PyCon, I haven't had time for PEP number assignments, editing, and checkins. I don't follow python-dev or python-3000 closely, so I only recently learned of the April 30 deadline for PEPs. I'd like to get all the outstanding PEPs checked in, but I need help. There are a bunch of draft PEPs in my inbox, but I can't trust it because some have already been checked in, and others have since been updated or become obsolete. Please re-send the latest drafts (as attachments!) of any outstanding PEPs to peps-at-python-dot-org. Include the dates of any postings of the PEP to python-dev, python-3000, or python-list (in the Post-History header). Be sure to read and follow PEP 1 (PEP Purpose and Guidelines; http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0001/) for details on what to include. Posting a draft PEP to a python-* mailing list IS NOT SUFFICIENT. It must be sent to peps-at-python-dot-org. Committers (those with commit access to Python's SVN) are welcome to add PEPs themselves. Just take the next available number from PEP 0 (which must be updated). BTW, with PSF and PyCon duties (I'm chairing PyCon 2008), I don't see my availability for PEP editing increasing any time soon. A new PEP Editor would be welcome! -- David Goodger http://python.net/~goodger

I posted to python-3000 a while ago. It never occurred to me that people interested in writing PEPs for Py3k would not be subscribed to that list. -- --Guido van Rossum (home page: http://www.python.org/~guido/)

Guido has stated a few times now that PEPs to be considered for 3.0a1 should (must?) be presented in April, lastly in a thread titled "Reminder: Py3k PEPs due by April"... ;) Georg -- Thus spake the Lord: Thou shalt indent with four spaces. No more, no less. Four shall be the number of spaces thou shalt indent, and the number of thy indenting shall be four. Eight shalt thou not indent, nor either indent thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to four. Tabs are right out.
