PEP 444 (web3) is being worked on, but will be a fairly significant protocol change/upgrade. In the interest if getting something quickly, the original WSGI PEP 333 author decided to just make the minor updates required to make it python 3 compliant. But Guido along with some other python developers have objected that it isn't appropriate to try and change PEP 333 so substantially at this point and a new PEP should be developed, although hopefully it could still be done quicker than PEP 444 will take.

- illumen 16y agoWell, I think Guidos point is just that the pep number should be changed - to follow procedure.
- jnoller 16y agoIt's not just that; PEPs aren't versioned. Having a spec which just "magically" changes doesn't help anyone in the community trying to code to the specification. Personally (and I said this in the thread) I think this is more than just procedure, and we do need to just bite the bullet and do a 1.1 spec in addition to PEP 444.
