I'd like to make a proposal for the addition of a major new feature to Django. Back in late March of this year, I wrote an original Google Summer of Code proposal <https://gist.github.com/cascadianblue/2856bea128dd1b3f4d0f> that received some interest from several members of the community, but neither I nor this proposal were selected for GSoC. A community member (iirc it was Florian Apolloner) told me to put the proposal in the form of a DEP.
For those not previously introduced (or who need a reminder), this proposal is for a standardized system of "conditions"–dynamic rules written in plain Python–which would be used primarily to evaluate whether an action (in most cases, the execution of a view) should be allowed. Comparable features include Django-Rules and the permissions system in Django Rest Framework. The current version of the DEP is attached here <https://github.com/cascadianblue/DEP-Conditions-API/blob/master/xxxx-conditions-api.rst>. I am currently seeking at least a shepherd and hopefully other implementors. Any and all thoughtful critique would be highly appreciated.
