Hrm, you'd probably have to scour the archives. It's one of those things that comes up periodically and spawns a discussion thread, but never really gets to a concrete proposal. The best I can find is this, which never even got submitted to the official PEP repository, but it's someone's attempt to make something that could potentially become one, so it's a start. https://github.com/DavidMertz/peps/blob/master/pep-9999.rst The trouble is, it's really REALLY hard to pin down useful semantics for deferred evaluation. We already have lambda functions, which cover a lot of situations, leaving a lot of uncertainty as to what's being handled by this new proposal - and since no proposal ever truly comes from a single person, that results in a certain amount of chaos.
