Rick,

PEP 484 has been discussed and discussed and discussed here, and on 
Python-Dev. To avoid boring everyone else to death, I suggest you raise 
your initial questions on the python-list mailing list (comp.lang.python 
newsgroup). If you raise them there, I promise I'll answer. (I think 
other c.l.p regulars ChrisA and Terry are also familiar enough with PEP 
484 to answer your questions.)

Then, once you have a better grasp of the background, you can come back 
here with any questions about Guido's newer proposals.

Consider that just a suggestion for the sake of keeping discussion here 
focused on the newest parts of the PEP, rather than going over old 
ground.
