Senthil Kumaran 30784d4044 Update PEP VCS References. Point to the github repository. 2016-06-25 22:33:12 -07:00
Barry Warsaw 39ffb20dc3 PEP 9 (plaintext PEPs) is deprecated. 2016-01-05 18:33:02 -05:00
Berker Peksag 2acd07014c Update PEP editors list. 2015-02-02 15:37:11 +02:00
Nick Coghlan 8122474fe8 PEP process changes triggered by the packaging PEPs
- allow a Discussion-To header to indicate the list for pronouncement
- allow version independent Standards track PEPs
2013-04-07 18:26:06 +10:00
Nick Coghlan a116485401 Eliminate some awkward phrasing (noted by Ezio Melloti) 2012-12-22 21:33:26 +10:00
Nick Coghlan 2af18441e8 Further updates to PEP 1 to better reflect current practice
- identify the current PEP editors and clarify their role
- separate out PEP administrative email from design discussion
- reference implementations typically co-evolve with their PEP
- it's OK to get a PEP number before a PEP is ready for python-dev
- eliminate most of the ambiguous 'we' references

(Initial patch by Chris Jerdonek)

Barry Warsaw 2a95453d84 Make it clear that the PEP editors can only review a completed PEP for
style and consistency.  The BDFL (by way of python-dev) is the final
arbiter of the PEP for its acceptance into the language.

Barry Warsaw f5e3789b13 Spellchecked. 2012-05-17 06:53:13 -04:00
Nick Coghlan 73310d4468 Add the BDFL-Delegate field, using myself as the test case.
Including the delegate's email address would be nice, but the PEP writer lives in docutils upstream rather than our PEPs repo and I'm not updating docutils just to mask an additional field, nor am I inclined to figure out how to move the writer definition downstream where it belongs

Brett Cannon 0d4547ba0a Be explicit about using the lowest PEP number (e.g. in the 400s) instead of the next number (e.g. in the 3100s). 2012-03-12 19:22:35 -04:00
Éric Araujo ea9bdcad6a Remove strange wording.
(“direct access” to the hg repo uses the same protocol than public
browsing, so the distinction does not make sense anymore.)

Barry Warsaw 0e36409f13 David Goodger writes:
* Changed the "PEP Template" section to "PEP Formats and Templates",
  in which plaintext and reStructuredText PEPs are described.

* Added "PEP Header Preamble" heading, for the RFC 2822 header
  description.

  - Rearranged some descriptions to match the header order.
  - Removed the colons from header field names (e.g., "the Author
    header").
  - Added a description of the Content-Type header.

* Moved the plaintext-PEP-specific "PEP Formatting Requirements"
  section to PEP 9.  PEP 1 now deals only with content, not format.

* Minor edits, including:

  - Capitalized "Standards Track" and "Informational" throughout.
  - In "it's not like such decisions can be reversed", "can" should be
    "can't"; fixed.
2002-08-26 16:19:25 +00:00
Barry Warsaw 4a805d3603 Based on feedback inspired by Francois Pinard, we're changing the
format of the Author: header to be "Random J. User <address@dom.ain>"

Update PEP 1 style guidelines.

Updated PEP 9 template.

Updated PEP 0 as an example.
2002-07-30 16:23:15 +00:00
Barry Warsaw 888748d8c8 Some clarifications about what should go in a successful PEP, as well
as cause for rejection of pre-PEPs.
2002-07-29 18:34:59 +00:00
Barry Warsaw 83614f97e5 Addeda paragraph about transferring ownership of the PEP. 2002-07-12 16:39:49 +00:00
Barry Warsaw 732c0ece30 Remove Barry's & Jeremy's email address from the Authors: header (note
to other PEP authors -- it is okay now to omit your email address from
this header, although we will be obscuring it soon).

Also, use peps@python.org as the PEP editor contact address instead of
Barry's personal address.

Remove Guido's email address.

Other updates explaining where address obscuring takes place and where
it doesn't.

Updated the Emacs file local variable section.

Post-History: headers.

Elaborate a bit about how and where PEP discussions should be held.
2001-08-14 22:04:52 +00:00
Barry Warsaw d01aa72709 Because of the redesign of PEP 0, titles can now be of a maximum 44
characters in length (up from the previous 38).  I think this still
gives us plenty of room for the owner fields.

Jeremy Hylton 5b4565c9b8 Revise guidelines for discussion of PEP before draft exists. The goal
is to limit needless and uninformed discussion of an issue, not to
prevent all discussion.
2000-10-16 20:32:29 +00:00
Barry Warsaw 21d59a4d3b In order to get a PEP number, you need more than just an abstract.
You need a rough draft.
2000-08-23 15:58:05 +00:00
Barry Warsaw 5ff3374dd9 Get rid of the `Technical' PEP category. PEPs are either Standards

script.
2000-08-15 05:54:18 +00:00
Barry Warsaw 269dd97ab2 There are now three basic types of PEPs: informational, standards
track, and technical.  The (new) latter type describes internal or
implementation changes that don't have a direct visible effect on the
Python language (e.g. Stackless).
2000-08-14 14:48:20 +00:00
