Common Ideas

This page lists ideas that have been discussed frequently or at great length. Its goals are

  • to help contributors of ideas to easily evaluate their ideas compared with similar past proposals,
  • to help readers of giant ideas threads by providing summaries of the most salient points,
  • to help PEP writers who have decided to take the leap and propose one of these ideas by providing some of the text for the PEP, and
  • to help people responding to ideas by giving them a quick response thereby saving them the trouble of regenerating old discussions.
