Draft 1.3 of my PEP 310/PEP 340 merger is now up for public consumption: http://members.iinet.net.au/~ncoghlan/public/pep-3XX.html This is a major rewrite since version 1.2. Significant changes are: - reorder and reword things to emphasise the user defined statements, and their ability to factor out arbitrary try/except/else/finally boilerplate. - use 'do' as the keyword instead of 'stmt' (I have to say, I *really* like the way 'do' looks and reads in all of the examples) - clean up the semantics of user defined statements so as to make manual statement templates as easy to write as those in PEP 310 - give iterator finalisation its own slot, __finish__() (distinct from the __exit__() of statement templates) - define sensible automatic finalisation semantics for iterative loops - fill out the Rejected Options section meaningfully, with justifications for rejecting certain options - makes the PEP more self-contained, with significantly fewer references to PEP 340. These changes try to take into account the feedback I got on the previous drafts, as well as fixing a few problems I noticed myself.
