reStructuredText for PEPs
=========================
Original PEP source may be written using two standard formats, a
mildly idiomatic plain text format and a the reStructuredText format
(also, technically plain text). These two formats are described in
PEP 9 and PEP 12 respectively. The pep2html.py processing and
installation scripts knows how to produce the html for either PEP
format, however in order to process reStructuredText PEPs, you must
install the Docutils package. If this package is not installed,
pep2html.py will simply skip any reStructuredText PEPs.
Installing Docutils for reStructuredText PEPs
