<p class="admonition-title">Warning</p>
|
||
<p>No new modules are to be added to this PEP. It has been
|
||
deemed dangerous to codify external maintenance of any
|
||
code checked into Python’s code repository. Code
|
||
contributors should expect Python’s development
|
||
methodology to be used for any and all code checked into
|
||
Python’s code repository.</p>

||
</div>

||
<section id="abstract">
|
||
<h2><a class="toc-backref" href="#abstract" role="doc-backlink">Abstract</a></h2>
|
||
<p>There are many great pieces of Python software developed outside of
|
||
the Python standard library (a.k.a., the “stdlib”). Sometimes it
|
||
makes sense to incorporate these externally maintained packages into
|
||
the stdlib in order to fill a gap in the tools provided by Python.</p>
|
||
<p>But by having the packages maintained externally it means Python’s
|
||
developers do not have direct control over the packages’ evolution and
|
||
maintenance. Some package developers prefer to have bug reports and
|
||
patches go through them first instead of being directly applied to
|
||
Python’s repository.</p>
|
||
<p>This PEP is meant to record details of packages in the stdlib that are
|
||
maintained outside of Python’s repository. Specifically, it is meant
|
||
to keep track of any specific maintenance needs for each package. It
|
||
should be mentioned that changes needed in order to fix bugs and keep
|
||
the code running on all of Python’s supported platforms will be done
|
||
directly in Python’s repository without worrying about going through
|
||
the contact developer. This is so that Python itself is not held up
|
||
by a single bug and allows the whole process to scale as needed.</p>
|
||
<p>It also is meant to allow people to know which version of a package is
|
||
released with which version of Python.</p>

<h2><a class="toc-backref" href="#externally-maintained-packages" role="doc-backlink">Externally Maintained Packages</a></h2>
|
||
<p>The section title is the name of the package as it is known outside of
|
||
the Python standard library. The “standard library name” is what the
|
||
package is named within Python. The “contact person” is the Python
|
||
developer in charge of maintaining the package. The “synchronisation
|
||
history” lists what external version of the package was included in
|
||
each version of Python (if different from the previous Python
|
||
release).</p>
