See also http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/April_Fools%27_Day_RFC -- it has

Hm, I'm sure there were many more, perhaps in different places. I
recall participating with Larry Wall in the announcement of Parrot, a
Python/Perl merger -- hence the name of the Perl 6 VM. And others. I'd
love to see people post more references here! (Georg already posted
the April Fool's PEPs.)
Can I draw python-dev's attention to http://bugs.python.org/issue3496 ?
Without this fix, distutils doesn't support the new version of
binutils (which is probably coming into more common use). It would be
good if this could be fixed for 2.6. I've attached a patch to the
issue report, could someone

Hmm, thanks, although I don't see why it was rejected, since it seems to
me that by using the addition operator or triple-quoting all the use
cases would become clearer and not significantly harder to write, while
the (often silent) errors would not happen any more.
The PEP only mentions that

Oops. I didn't know that. Is there any rationale (I suppose so)?

I figured I would send out a quick email to let people know of the
existence of a new mailing list: python-committers
(http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-committers) so that no
one thinks something sneaky is going on behind the scenes.
It is invite-only, but publicly archived. The poin

Although it wasn't April 1, here's one I posted

I'm not sure if this should go here or the python3000 list, but I think
it probably fits a bit better here, as it has to do with development.
I'm putting together a small sprint for our newly formed Python group
here locally, and I stumbled across this Google doc with Py3k tasks that
