I think it is important to confirm in advance that all the implementations listed below agree to implement the PEP "soonish" after it's adopted. "Required" sounds like a strong term - however, if an implementation chooses not to implement the PEP, it can do whatever it wants, including omission of required fields. > id (required): > lower case identifier, for example "cpython", "ironpython", "jython", > "pypy" Doing some bike-shedding: I'd like to not use "cpython" as the name of the python.org implementation. This term, I believe, was coined around JPython, somehow making the implementation language the primary means of distinction. However, there may be alternative implementations written in C (e.g. unladen swallow), or otherwise be "C based" (e.g. pypy). So I propose that the python.org version is identified as "python". > name (required): > mixed case name of the implementation, for example "CPython", > "IronPython", "Jython", "PyPy" Likewise; alternatively "python.org".
