Just out of curiosity, how is this new proposed PEP going to relate to PEP 216 ("docstring format")? Will it replace it? If not, then maybe we should just work on extending PEP 216? If you're interested in this PEP stuff, and haven't read PEP 216, you should probably go read it..: http://python.sourceforge.net/peps/pep-0216.html Does anyone know if Moshe Zadka still actively working on this? -Edward
