Unless I hear any objections, I plan to adjust the current PEP
statuses as follows some time this weekend:

Move from Accepted to Finished:

    389  argparse - New Command Line Parsing Module              Bethard
    391  Dictionary-Based Configuration For Logging              Sajip
    3108  Standard Library Reorganization                         Cannon
    3135  New Super
Spealman, Delaney, Ryan

Move from Accepted to Withdrawn (with a reference to Reid Kleckner's blog post)
    3146  Merging Unladen Swallow into CPython
Winter, Yasskin, Kleckner


The PEP 3118 enhanced buffer protocol has some ongoing semantic and
implementation issues still to be worked out, so I plan to leave that
at Accepted. Ditto for PEP 3121 (extension module finalisation), since
that doesn't play nicely with the current 'set everything to None'
approach to breaking cycles during module finalisation.

The other Accepted PEPs are either packaging standards related or
genuinely not implemented yet.

Cheers,
Nick.
