Moshe in the lead...

The authors will check-in their individual PEPs.

Guido van Rossum c751773847 Christian handed this out at Python9. Might as well save it for
posterity.  It was written by Gordon.

Tim Peters b6893e3c49 Make names in __future__.py bind to class instances instead of 2-tuples.
Suggested on c.l.py by William Tanksley, and I like it.
2001-03-02 02:53:08 +00:00

and warnings.

2001-02-26 20:08:05 +00:00
Fred Drake 910d1b4561 Added text describing the two distinct aspects of any weak reference
implementation, with pros/cons for different options.
2001-02-26 19:04:00 +00:00
Barry Warsaw 63478e96e1 Added reference to Michael Hudson's SF implementation of the "having"
syntax.
2001-02-26 18:13:05 +00:00
Barry Warsaw f18e64ab07 Some further clarifications:
- func.__dict__ starts out as None until the first attribute is
  assigned, at which time, it turns into a dictionary.

- del func.__dict__ sets it back to None

- It is legal to assign None to func.__dict__; this is equivalent to
  del func.__dict__

Slight rewording to clarify the BDFL's position on special syntax.
2001-02-26 18:03:35 +00:00

Barry Warsaw 6d00c374f2 Moving PEP 232 to the "Future for Py2.2" section, even though part of
the PEP will be included in Python 2.1.
2001-02-20 20:12:24 +00:00
Barry Warsaw b075e5b7ae Moving this PEP back to Draft after some internal discussions raised
more problems with method attributes as previously proposed.

Now, setting attributes on either bound or unbound methods will be
disabled for Python 2.1, but potentially re-enabled for Python 2.2
using a different mechanism.  Getting method attributes is unchanged
for Python 2.1 (but may be elaborated in Python 2.2).
