I just pushed an update to PEP 1 to give additional guidance to core developers that are directly updating a PEP in Mercurial, to account for the automatic generation of PEP 0 and to mention the "PEP czar" role. Updated PEP: http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0001/ Changes: http://hg.python.org/peps/rev/bdbbd3ce97d9 Any additional feedback here (I'll leave the issue open for a while): http://bugs.python.org/issue14703 (although remember that the bar for this PEP is "useful and fairly accurate" rather than "perfect") Cheers, Nick. -- Nick Coghlan | ncoghlan at gmail.com | Brisbane, Australia
