PEP 401 origin and authorship
Somewhere around the place, I remember reading something about how PEP 401 (the retirement of the BDFL and the accession of the FLUFL) came to be. It involved a joke being turned on its originator, I think. But I can't find it back. Anyone have a reference handy? ChrisA -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
