There are no guarantees.  There is also currently no PEP (that I'm aware of).

If you're willing to put the work in, start with a PEP -- but it's unlikely to be accepted without at least a working
proof-of-concept implementation.  It may still get rejected in the end, but we would then have a very good record of why
-- which can also be extremely useful.
