This felt like a fun thing to do so I actually did it but not from
the PEPS index since it didn't give me text files but HTML files.
Thankfully the PEPS are available in text format from
http://svn.python.org/projects/peps/trunk/, so I just checked out
the text files and using some quick work ran text2pdf on
a single text file which I created by concatenating all PEP
files into a single text file in sorted order.

I have uploaded this to
http://harvestmanontheweb.com/python/peps_all.pdf.

Total time taken for me: 15 mins

Enjoy.
