As I pointed out in a previous post,
http://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.python/msg/c911d6d249d327a6?hl=en&
http://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.python/msg/363fe742925623c4?hl=en&
whether a person is or is not a native English speaker is
irrelevant -- what is relevant is their current ability with
English.
And my impression is that neally all of posts from people not
fluent in English (judging from grammar mistakes and such)
are in favor of the PEP.
