Another solution is to use Special Interest Group (SIG) mailing lists to discuss PEPs. distutils-sig accepted many PEPs which were never posted to python-dev. Someone told me that PEPs are not posted to python-dev to avoid restarting discussions from scratch ;-) I have been told when I asked why TOML has been chosen instead of YAML for a PEP ;-) It was maybe the PEP 518, I don't recall. Do we need a new more specific mailing lists to discuss PEPs changing the Python language? Or a generic noisy-pep mailing lists for PEPs with high traffic? :-) Victor _______________________________________________ python-committers mailing list python-committers@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-committers Code of Conduct: https://www.python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
