As I said back then, I think *everything* in PEP 426 is worth breaking out into its own PEP. ;-) Less jokingly, I think that the scope of PEP 426 includes many things that have different (if overlapping) audiences, and splitting it into smaller pieces will help those audiences concentrate on the bits relevant to them. The audience for markers is a subset of the audience for requirement specs, which is a subset of the audience for version syntax. Lots of other subtopics are of interest mainly to build tool and distro makers, so there's little point in making everybody read everything. (Also, a lot of these smaller things are (hopefully) easier to reach consensus on, at which point the PEPs are settled and allow moving discussion on to the more open issues.) So, yes, good idea to break out environment markers. ;-) _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - Distutils-SIG@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
