> Submitting Python 2.5 to ISO/ANSI might be a good idea. ANSI does not actually make standards. It make metastandards about how to make standards (both style and process) and accredites US standard-making bodies that will follow those metastandards. The processes require committee meetings and public comment periods -- a few years and some $$$. There in no guarantee that what would come out of such a process would be what went in, so 'Standard Python' might easily be a language with no implementations. ANSI standards are owned by ANSI or perhaps the accrediting body. In any case, electronic copies sell for $30. They cannot legally be accessed free as for the docs at python.org. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
