Nick Coghlan, I'm thinking about what you said, over a year ago, about finding a new champion for PEP 467. I think it would be a privilege to work on something like that, which may be used by millions of people over a period of years or decades.
However, I have decided that I no longer have the time or interest. This PEP has been open but delayed for years. It was originally written in 2014 (apparently with the expectation that it would be included in Python 3.5). My initial attempt to implement it was in 2016. In 2018, Guido said "It's too late for 3.7 period, but there's no reason it can't be considered for 3.8.", but now 3.8 is already in beta. I didn't realize that this would go on for so long. I was working on a personal project, and at one point I was wishing for something like the proposed iterator methods. I thought the details were already decided and I just had to code the thing, which would take a few weeks or maybe a few months at most. I did not realize what I was getting myself into. I wish the best of luck to whoever decides to finish this effort.
