Speaking as someone who doesn't write PEPs and neither wants to, I truly
believe that the PEP mechanism along with the PSF (Python Software
Fundation) helps the Python Language to stand out in the software jungle
making it unique compared to open source and commercial products.

BTW, I didn't see many discussion here about the PSF. And it's THE Python's
news of the year! hmmm, maybe because there's nothing to whin about it :-)
