You open a PEP by writing one ;) Once you have a draft, you mail it to
Barry, who will give it a number, or maybe reject it. The idea to have
user-definable functions to do the P in 'REPL' was brought up before, on
python-dev, but I don't recall what came of it. (That, in itself, suggests a
PEP would be useful :-) The current setup makes it less-than-trivial, but
not impossible.
The question is, do you have enough time to waste on a PEP ? :-)
