Sometimes when reading a PEP it isn't especially clear exactly which
version it landed in, or whether or not there were significant changes
post-acceptance based on issues discovered during the beta period, though.

So the idea of a "Release-Note" header that points to the version
specific What's New entry seems like a decent idea to me (and may
actually help the What's New section supplant the PEP in search results).


	I think that is a great idea.  I have definitely sometimes found myself 
bouncing back and forth between the main documentation and the PEPs, 
trying to cobble together an understanding of what the actual behavior is.

perhaps some machine readable format of the release tag on the PEP which is
then read when generating the notes, and pulls it in?  include the link to
the PEP in the notes as well.  just tag the PEP with release and forget
about it.

no idea if that fits into the process, just a thought.

[Python-ideas] Link accepted PEPs to their whatsnew section?

2018-06-12 Thread Neil Schemenauer
I'm testing "Data Classes" for Python 3.7.  Awesome new feature,
BTW.  The PEP is the first search result when I lookup "dataclass
python".  Given that the PEP is not the best documentation for an
end user, I wonder if we should have a link in the header section of
the PEP that goes to better documentation.  We could link accepted
PEPs to their section of the whatsnew.  Or, link to the language
documentation that describes the feature.
