Hi folks, In the current PEP workflow, provisionally accepted PEPs are marked as "Accepted", and remain in that state until they're declared stable and moved to Final.
This makes it hard to identify which APIs and file formats have been approved to have their reference implementations released (whether in CPython or in other tools), so I filed https://github.com/python/peps/issues/270 some time ago to propose making Provisional an explicit state in its own right, distinct from Accepted. https://github.com/python/peps/pull/577 is a PR with a concrete proposal along those lines: * "Provisional" is a new state that parallels Accepted, with the same basic state flows * PEP 0 gains a new section, listing the provisionally accepted PEPs separately from the accepted ones * PEP 484 (type hinting), and the PyPA static build metadata (pyproject.toml) PEPs are marked as provisionally accepted Regards, Nick. -- Nick Coghlan | ncogh...@gmail.com | Brisbane, Australia _______________________________________________ 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
