Can I suggest that a pointer to this issue be added to the PEP? It certainly seems like a lot of the discussion of options available is captured there. And the fact that Guido's views are noted there is also useful (as he hasn't been contributing to this thread). 2009/4/30 Thomas Breuel <tmb...@gmail.com>: >> > Since both have had to deal with this, have you looked at what they >> > actually do before proposing PEP 383?

This reference could probably be usefully added to the PEP as well.
