Post-History:
Introduction
The PEP contains the index of all Python Enhancement Proposals,
known as PEPs. PEP numbers are assigned by the PEP Editor, and
once assigned are never changed. The CVS history[1] of the PEP
texts represent their historical record.
The BDFL maintains his own Pronouncements page[2] at
http://www.python.org/doc/essays/pepparade.html which contains his
musings on the various outstanding PEPs.
