devel copy (thanks to Fred Drake, Dr. Docs!)

Fred Drake f30b9ed129 If form-feeds are not going to be used to indicate what can be marked as
a header, use a non-white character in the first column.  This looks a
little cleaner.
2000-07-26 04:14:30 +00:00
Fred Drake 6dada5abfb Do not start non-heading content on the first character of the line (after
the header).

Barry Warsaw 516a1a8b52 In a compromise with JHy, and to be more consistent with the style now
documented in PEP1, remove the Emacs page breaks.

Also, Owner: -> Author:, added Created: and Post-History: headers

Changed "Standard For-Loops" section to "Motivation" and shortened
considerably; readers already know how for-loops work in Python.

Added notes about Guido's veto of lazy evaluation.

Barry Warsaw f25a70097b In the examples section, show how zip() is reversible.
Patches to the reference implementation:

    __getitem__() raises IndexError immediately if no sequences were
    given.

    __len__() returns 0 if no sequences were given.

    __cmp__() new method

Added a little more explanation to raise-a-TypeError-for-zip(a)

Added `fold' as one of the alternative names proposed.

Thomas Wouters 6f232833de First draft of the range-literals PEP. Not sprinkeled with explicit 'TBD's,
and the one TBD in there should be an 'XXX' in my opinion ;) but with a lot
of issues under 'Open issues'.

Please, comment freely, on anything from specific arguments and spelling
errors to style issues and argument-flow. I wrote all this on the train to
and from work, listening to UB40 on the way to work, and to my girlfriend
complaining about her work and her colleagues on the way home ;) So it might
be a bit incoherent in places.

One TBD that's going to come up a lot in PEPs, I think: how to wrap long
URLs ? I think whoever invents a good way to do that can become a
millionaire. Can we define/steal a good, standard way to wrap URLs, please ?

Barry Warsaw be3c33389e Latest update.
After consultation with Guido, zip() is chosen as the name of this
built-in.

In reference implementation added an __len__() method.

Added a `Rejected Elaborations' section to talk about suggestions from
the list that I've rejected (and the reasoning behind the rejection).

Also: rewrite of paragraph 1 under "Standard For-Loops" for clarity;
Spelling and grammar fixes; use a References section.

Thomas Wouters cf9d818d03 Incomplete version of the augmented assignment PEP. It currently includes
only the arguments for/against inclusion of augmented assignment in Python,
not yet the technical details. I decided to upload this half-completed
version to give people some time to respond before I finish it :-)

Feel free to bring up any and all arguments. The point of the PEP is to
archive those, after all!
