Sending a patch to the PEP editors (p...@python.org) or posting it to the tracker is likely the best option. However, in the general case, we don't worry too much about minor errors in accepted and final PEPs - once the PEP is implemented, they're mostly historical records rather than reference documents (some exceptions do exist, but those mostly related to items that weren't properly documented in the language and library reference. The two most notable offenders, PEP 302 and 3118, have finally been replaced by more comprehensive documentation for the import system and binary buffer protocol in the official docs for 3.3) Cheers, Nick. -- Nick Coghlan | ncogh...@gmail.com | Brisbane, Australia _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
