The text source for the PEPs are kept in Python's CVS repository. You
could just get the latest PEP sources from there and then use the
pep2html.py script in that directory to build the HTML.

    How to download from CVS:
    http://sourceforge.net/cvs/?group_id=5470

    The PEP source dir in the repository:
    http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/python/python/nondist/peps/

Cheers,
Trent
