If you are really interested in this the minimum would be following these steps: 1. discuss various publish-subscribe API variants on python-list (aka c.l.p) 2. when you got tons of feedback summarize the discussion on python-dev 3. tons of feedback will follow and try to converge on a consensus concerning the API 4. write a PEP 5. produce an implementation (or get someone to do it) 6. add the implementation to the PEP 7. lobby for acceptance of the PEP A good example for the first couple of stages of this process is PEP 3143 concerning adding a daemon package to the stdlib: http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-3143/ I haven't found the beginning of the thread discussing this but you can start for example here: http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-list/2009-March/1197808.html Good luck, Daniel -- Psss, psss, put it down! - http://www.cafepress.com/putitdown -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
