[Python-Dev] PEP 290 revisited

From: "Kevin Altis" <altis@semi-retired.com>

> Implementing all the changes of PEP 290 does take time and focus. I would

Yes.  It takes a lot a care to do it right.

> It will be up to you and the other

> 290.

I wouldn't use the word conform.  The spirit of the PeP
was to provide some clues to those looking to take
advantage of a recent language feature.  The clues 
include how to find a potential update, what change
to make, what the benefit would be, and more importantly
what cues indicate that the change might be inappropriate.
