Brett Cannon d48c263a9d Scale back proposal even more: VMError and AnyDeprecationWarning have been
removed along with EOFError no longer inheriting from IOError.
TerminalException was renamed TerminatingException.

At this point the only changes to the exception hierarchy are the addition of
BaseException and TerminatingException, and the change of inheritance for
KeyboardInterrupt, SystemExit, and NotImplementedError.

reStructuredText for PEPs
=========================

Original PEP source may be written using two standard formats, a
mildly idiomatic plaintext format and the reStructuredText format
(also, technically plaintext).  These two formats are described in PEP
9 and PEP 12 respectively.  The pep2html.py processing and
installation script knows how to produce the HTML for either PEP
format.  A local copy of the Docutils package is included for
processing reStructuredText PEPs.

Please report any problems or questions to
docutils-develop@lists.sourceforge.net or to David Goodger
(goodger@python.org).
