All, I've reviewed PEP 345 and PEP 386 and am satisfied that after some small improvements they will be accepted. Most of the discussion has already taken place. I have one comment on PEP 345: Why is author-email mandatory? I'm sure there are plenty of cases where either the author doesn't want their email address published, or their last know email address is no longer valid. (Tarek responded off-line that it isn't all that mandatory; I propose to say so in the PEP.) I am also looking at PEP 376 but I expect that Tarek will start another round of discussion on it. Hopefully all three PEPs will be accepted in time for inclusion in Python 2.7. -- --Guido van Rossum (python.org/~guido)

Yes, I propose to remove the mandatory flag from that field.

We will work on 376 in the two coming weeks in distutils-SIG and try to come up with something ready for Pycon, if feasible. Thanks for the reviews ! Tarek -- Tarek Ziadé | http://ziade.org

Since this is done I now approve both PEP 345 and PEP 386 (which is not to say that small editorial changes to the text couldn't be made). -- --Guido van Rossum (python.org/~guido)
