Update of /cvsroot/python/python/nondist/peps
In directory sc8-pr-cvs1:/tmp/cvs-serv4240
Modified Files:
pep-0283.txt
Log Message:
Move optparse and datetime to "completed"; move a bunch of other
things to "probably won't make it", mostly due to lack of energy.

This has now been checked in.
+ - A new command line option parser. Greg Ward's Optik package
+ (http://optik.sf.net) has been adopted, convert to a single
+ module named optparse. See also
+ http://www.python.org/sigs/getopt-sig/
+
+ - A standard datetime type. This started as a wiki:
+ http://www.zope.org/Members/fdrake/DateTimeWiki/FrontPage A
+ prototype was coded in nondist/sandbox/datetime/. Tim Peters
+ has finished the C implementation and checked it in. While we
+ may be tweaking the API during the alpha test period, I consider
+ this module basically complete -- except for its documentation.

Planned features for 2.3

This looks very promising. See http://www.python.org/sf/652586
- - A new command line option parser. Greg Ward's Optik
- (http://optik.sf.net) fits the bill fine; there's only some
- question about whether it should be given a less "cutesy" name.
- I'm leaning toward optparse now. See also
- http://www.python.org/sigs/getopt-sig/
-
- - Provide alternatives for common uses of the types module;
- Skip Montanaro has posted a proto-PEP for this idea:
- http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2002-May/024346.html
- Unfortunately there hasn't been much progress on this.
-
- - An iterator tools module featuring goodies from SML and Haskell?
- http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2002-May/024418.html
-
- - Deprecate the buffer object.
- http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2002-July/026388.html
- http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2002-July/026408.html
- No progress; the last time this was brought up only Marc-Andre
- Lemburg said he had a use for it. I need to find out exactly
- what that need is and how much of the buffer object we can retire.
-
- - Add support for the long-awaited Python catalog. Kapil
- Thangavelu has a Zope-based implementation that he demoed at
- OSCON 2002. Now all we need is a place to host it and a person
- to champion it.
-
- - A standard datetime type. An implementation effort is under way:
- http://www.zope.org/Members/fdrake/DateTimeWiki/FrontPage
- There's a prototype implementation in nondist/sandbox/datetime/.
- Tim Peters is committed to finishing the C implementation.
- Effbot and MAL have a proposal for a basic interface that all
- datetime types should implement, but there are some problems with
- UTC. A decision needs to be made.
-
- - Decide on a clearer deprecation policy (especially for modules)
- and act on it. For a start, see this message from Neil Norwitz:
- http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2002-April/023165.html
-
- - Use pending deprecation for the types and string modules. This
- requires providing alternatives for the parts that aren't
- covered yet (e.g. string.whitespace and types.TracebackType).
-
- - PEP 269 Pgen Module for Python Riehl
-
- Jon Riehl is going to attempt an implementation by mid-September.
-
- Documentation: complete the distribution and installation
manuals.

Features unlikely to make it into Python 2.3

+ http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2002-April/023165.html
+ There seems insufficient interest in moving this further in an
+ organized fashion, and it's not particularly important.

+ - Provide alternatives for common uses of the types module;
+ Skip Montanaro has posted a proto-PEP for this idea:
+ http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2002-May/024346.html
+ There hasn't been any progress on this, AFAICT.
+
+ - Use pending deprecation for the types and string modules. This
+ requires providing alternatives for the parts that aren't
+ covered yet (e.g. string.whitespace and types.TracebackType).
+ It seems we can't get consensus on this.
+
+ - An iterator tools module featuring goodies from SML and Haskell?
+ http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2002-May/024418.html
+ I haven't heard about this in ages.

+ It seems that this is never going to be resolved.
+
+ - PEP 269 Pgen Module for Python Riehl
+
+ I haven't heard from Jon Riehl since he moved to Chicago.
+
+ - Add support for the long-awaited Python catalog. Kapil
+ Thangavelu has a Zope-based implementation that he demoed at
+ OSCON 2002. Now all we need is a place to host it and a person
