rejected-peps 0.3.0

A python package that implements some rejected or withdrawn PEPs.

What is this?

PEPs (Python Enhancement Proposals) are a big feature of the Python programming language. Some are accepted, and some were not. This package implements some PEPs that were rejected or withdrawn.

Which PEPs are included?

PEPs included need to match these points:

• It's not a syntax or major API change.

• It's about code, not governance etc.

• It can be implemented in pure Python code.

Parts of bytecode, C API etc. are not implemented.

What PEPs are included now?

PEPs with a * are slightly changed.

Finished

• PEP 204 — Range Literals
• PEP 211 — Adding A New Outer Product Operator
• PEP 212 — Loop Counter Iteration
• PEP 259 — Omit printing newline after newline
• PEP 265 — Sorting Dictionaries by Value
• PEP 276 — Simple Iterator for ints
• PEP 281* – Loop Counter Iteration with range and xrange
• PEP 303 — Extend divmod() for Multiple Divisors
• PEP 326 — A Case for Top and Bottom Values
• PEP 336 — Make None callable
• PEP 349* – Allow str() to return unicode strings bytes
• PEP 351 — The freeze protocol
• PEP 416 — Add a frozendict builtin type
• PEP 559 — Built-in noop()
• PEP 3140 – str(container) should call str(item), not repr(item)

Developing

• PEP 294 — Type Names in the types Module
• PEP 313* – Adding Roman Numeral Literals Functions to Python
• PEP 335* – Overloadable Boolean Operators Operator Functions

How do I use it?

Wiki is coming soon!

Quick example:

>>> import rejected_peps as rp
>>> rp.pep(559).noop()   # Function call
>>> Min = rp.pep326.Min  # Module
>>> Min < 3.14
True
>>> Min == -10, Min == Min
(False, True)
>>> rp.info(416)
pepinfo(number=416, title='Add a frozendict builtin type', status='Rejected', creation='2012-02-29', url='https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0416/')
>>> rp.SUPPORTED
frozenset({416, 3140, 326, 265, 303, 336, 559, 211, 212, 276, 349, 351})
