Hi, I see many PEPs accepted for Python 3.6, or stil in draft status, but only a few final PEPs. What is happening?
Reminder: the deadline for new features in Python 3.6 is 2016-09-12, only in 2 months and these 2 months are summer in the northern hemisphere which means holiday for many of them... Python 3.6 schedule and What's New in Python 3.6 list some PEPs: https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0494/ https://docs.python.org/dev/whatsnew/3.6.html "PEP 499 -- python -m foo should bind sys.modules['foo'] in addition to sys.modules['__main__']" https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0499/ => draft "PEP 498 -- Literal String Interpolation" https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0498/ => accepted -- it's merged in Python 3.6, the status should be updated to Final no? "PEP 495 -- Local Time Disambiguation" https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0495/ => accepted Alexander Belopolsky asked for a review of the implementation: https://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2016-June/145450.html "PEP 447 -- Add __getdescriptor__ method to metaclass" https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0447/ => draft "PEP 487 -- Simpler customisation of class creation" https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0487/ => draft "PEP 520 -- Preserving Class Attribute Definition Order" https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0520/ => accepted -- what is the status of its implementation? "PEP 519 -- Adding a file system path protocol" https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0519/ => accepted "PEP 467 -- Minor API improvements for binary sequences" https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0467 => draft -- I saw recently some discussions around this PEP (on python-ideas?) It looks like os.fspath() exists, so the PEP is implemented. Its status should be Final, but the PEP should also be mentioned in What's New in Python 3.6 please. I also see some discussions for even more compact dict implementation. I wrote 3 PEPs, but I didn't have time recently to work of them (to make progress on the implementation of FAT Python): "PEP 509 -- Add a private version to dict" https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0509/ => draft Pyjion, Cython, and Yury Selivanov are interested to use this feature, but last time I asked Guido, he didn't seem convinced by the advantages of the PEP. "PEP 510 -- Specialize functions with guards" https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0510/ "PEP 511 -- API for code transformers" https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0511/ These two PEPs are directly related to my FAT Python work. I was asked to prove that FAT Python makes CPython faster. Sadly, I failed to prove that. Moreover, it took me almost 2 months (and I'm not done yet!) to get stable benchmarks results on Python. I want to make sure that my changes don't make Python slower (don't introduce Python regressions), but the CPython benchmark is unstable, some benchmarks are very unstable. To get more information, follow the sp...@python.org mailing list ;-) I probably forgot some PEPs, there are so many PEPs in the draft state :-( Victor _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
