Perhaps the PEP should specify this by e.g. using a header Comments-To: email-address The email address could then be made "usable" on the PEP web pages. > 2.

Perhaps someone could get the SF guys to add something like an "idea" manager with similar functionality but different content to SF ?! In the meantime, I think PEP discussions ought to taken to the sig mailing lists using python-dev as fallback solution. -- Marc-Andre Lemburg ______________________________________________________________________ Company: http://www.egenix.com/ Consulting: http://www.lemburg.com/ Python Pages: http://www.lemburg.com/python/
