I'm not aware of any PEPs on the subject, but google groups turns up some past
threads. Here's one from February 2004:

You can use Python regardless of the docs... of course. Not sure what

Can somebody help me please? I've spent a fruitless
hour googling with no luck.
I'm discussing memory allocation techniques with
somebody, and I'm trying to find a quote from -- I

allocates memory when you append to lists. In basic

It actually is an expression, whereas your example shows a statement (so

One of the first things I wanted to do when I start learning Python was
to produce a simple standalone application that I could distribute to
my users (windows users). Python's moto is "Batteries Included", but
where are the batteries for making exe files and making an installer
file? I had to down

When gVim is launched from a shell terminal, it completely

whatever purpose you wish, including closing

Sure it does. You can find curses implementations for Windows. Ho

Those aren't "batteries". Those are things you can do with the
