[Python-Dev] Accepting PEP 587 (Python Initialization Configuration)

[Victor Stinner]

Hi,

Thanks Thomas for accepting my PEP :-)

Thanks everyone who was involved in discussions since it started July
2018! For the first version of my PEP 587, I tried to design an API as
small as possible, but it was clear that it didn't fit all use cases.
Slowly, I extended and adjusted the API to fix all use cases. The
feedback was *very* useful!

A special thank to Nick Coghlan, Steve Dower and Gregory Szorc!!!

I'm now implementing the PEP ;-) I wrote 1000 lines of documentation
(in Doc/c-api/init_config.rst, well it's mostly code copied from the
PEP)! I will merge it before 3.8beta1.

Victor

If we do get to that point, the PEP contains a few things that are superfluous, but I'd consider them minor transitionary warts at that point -- if we ever get there).
