Hopefully the PEPs will be much more complete records.  PLAN.txt was
just my own to-do list, indicating how far I was along the realization
of the PEPs.  I realize that the PEPs are currently behind, but it is
in the PLAN.txt to remedy this. :-)

I'm glad you are planning to copy this effort in Jython.  (It should
actually be simpler in Jython as it doesn't have so much of a
dichotomy between types and classes as C-Python does.)  If there's
anything I can do to help (short of coding in Java :-) please let me
know.  In particular, if there's anything unclear in the PEPs or
PLAN.txt or in python.org/2.2/descrintro.html or anywhere else
(including the C code), I'd be happy to clarify it at your (or anybody
else's) request.  (Is Finn Bock still around in Jython?)
