Python Enhancement Proposals (PEPs) Index (PEP 0)

Business Profile

Core Value Proposition

Python Enhancement Proposals (PEPs) Index provides a comprehensive, version-controlled index of Python Enhancement Proposals and metadata via a JSON-based PEPS API.

Target Customer

Python developers, contributors, PEP editors, researchers, educators, and community participants who need to discover, reference, or programmatically access PEP data.

Key Differentiator

Permanent PEP numbering; PEP texts with version-controlled history; topic/category organization; a public JSON metadata API (PEPS API) for published PEPs.

Implementation Timeline

Value is realizable immediately via the public PEP index and the PEPS API; data is maintained with ongoing updates/entries as PEPs evolve.

Pain Points

1 difficulty locating and navigating all Python Enhancement Proposals across numbers and topics
2 tracking PEP status (open, accepted, finished, provisional) and governance information
3 need for programmatic access to PEP metadata for tools, research, and integration

Key Features

1Numerical index of PEPs ordered by number
2Index by Category (topics such as governance, packaging, API, typing, etc.)
3Status classifications (Open, Accepted, Finished, Provisional, etc.)
4The PEPS API: JSON metadata for all published PEPs
5Sections for Provisional PEPs, Accepted PEPs, Open PEPs, Finished PEPs
6Historical Meta-PEPs and Informational PEPs
