Depends on how much the care about the feature, how much time they are willing to spend, and how well the PEP summaries the entire thread. So far the discussion has been neither excessively huge nor excessively low signal-to-noise, so I'm not sure why the rush to move to a formal PEP. In the old days, anyone willing to make a PEP could just do so, without permission, so it's not like I'm saying that we shouldn't have a PEP. But it just seems premature to go from half-formed ideas on the list to a concrete proposal. -- Steven _______________________________________________ Python-ideas mailing list -- python-ideas@python.org To unsubscribe send an email to python-ideas-le...@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/python-ideas.python.org/ Message archived at https://mail.python.org/archives/list/python-ideas@python.org/message/TOTCUXFTVR4EILJLPPEWGLG7LUZPVJ4C/ Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
