+PEP Withdrawal
+==============
+
+With the acceptance of :pep:`453` meaning that ``pip`` will be available to
+most new Python users by default, this will hopefully reduce the pressure
+to add new modules to the standard library before they are sufficiently
+mature.
+
+The last couple of years have also seen increased usage of the model where
+a standard library package also has an equivalent available from the Python
+Package Index that also supports older versions of Python.
+
+Given these two developments and the level of engagement throughout the
+Python 3.4 release cycle, the PEP author no longer feels it would be
+appropriate to make such a fundamental change to the standard library
+development process.
