2021-10-04T00:00:00Z	**PEP 8103: 2022 Term steering council election**
This document describes the schedule and other details of the December
2021 election for the Python steering council, as specified in
PEP 13. This is the steering council election for the 2022 term
(i.e. Python 3.11). ⌘ [Read more](https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-8103/)
2021-10-19T00:00:00Z	**PEP 670: Convert macros to functions in the Python C API**
Convert macros to static inline functions or regular functions. ⌘ [Read more](https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0670/)
2021-10-24T00:00:00Z	**PEP 671: Syntax for late-bound function argument defaults**
Function parameters can have default values which are calculated during
function definition and saved. This proposal introduces a new form of
argument default, defined by an expression to be evaluated at function
call time. ⌘ [Read more](https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0671/)
2021-11-01T00:00:00Z	**PEP 672: Unicode-related Security Considerations for Python**
This document explains possible ways to misuse Unicode to write Python
programs that appear to do something else than they actually do. ⌘ [Read more](https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0672/)
2021-11-10T00:00:00Z	**PEP 673: Self Type**
This PEP introduces a simple and intuitive way to annotate methods that return
an instance of their class. This behaves the same as the TypeVar-based
approach specified in PEP 484
but is more concise and easier to follow. ⌘ [Read more](https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0673/)
2021-12-01T00:00:00Z	**PEP 674: Disallow using macros as l-value**
Incompatible C API change disallowing using macros as l-value to allow
evolving CPython internals and to ease the C API implementation on other
Python implementation. ⌘ [Read more](https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0674/)
2021-12-13T00:00:00Z	**PEP 677: Callable Type Syntax**
This PEP introduces a concise and friendly syntax for callable types,
supporting the same functionality as typing.Callable but with an
arrow syntax inspired by the syntax for typed function
signatures. This allows types like Callable[[int, str], bool] to
be written (int, str) -> bool. ⌘ [Read more](https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0677/)
2021-12-20T00:00:00Z	**PEP 678: Enriching Exceptions with Notes**
Exception objects are typically initialized with a message that describes the
error which has occurred. Because further information may be available when the
exception is caught and re-raised, this PEP proposes to add a .\_\_note\_\_
attribute and update the builtin traceback formatting code to include it in
the formatted traceback following the exception string. ⌘ [Read more](https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0678/)
2022-01-07T00:00:00Z	**PEP 679: Allow parentheses in assert statements**
This pep proposes to allow parentheses surrounding the two-subject form of
assert statements. This will cause the interpreter to reinterpret what before
would have been an assert with a two-element tuple that will always be True
(assert (expression, message)) to an assert statement with a subject and a
failure message, equivalent to the statement with the parentheses removed
(assert expression, message). ⌘ [Read more](https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0679/)
2022-01-29T00:00:00Z	**PEP 682: Format Specifier for Signed Zero**
Though float and Decimal types can represent signed zero, in many
fields of mathematics negative zero is surprising or unwanted -- especially
in the context of displaying an (often rounded) numerical result. This PEP
proposes an extension to the string format specification allowing negative
zero to be normalized to positive zero. ⌘ [Read more](https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0682/)
2022-02-10T00:00:00Z	**PEP 683: Immortal Objects, Using a Fixed Refcount**
Under this proposal, any object may be marked as immortal.
"Immortal" means the object will never be cleaned up (at least until
runtime finalization). Specifically, the refcount for an immortal
object is set to a sentinel value, and that refcount is never changed
by Py\_INCREF(), Py\_DECREF(), or Py\_SET\_REFCNT().
For immortal containers, the PyGC\_Head is never
changed by the garbage collector. ⌘ [Read more](https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0683/)
2022-03-08T00:00:00Z	**PEP 685: Comparison of extra names for optional distribution dependencies**
This PEP specifies how to normalize distribution \_extra\_
names when performing comparisons.
This prevents tools from either failing to find an extra name or
accidentally matching against an unexpected name. ⌘ [Read more](https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0685/)
2022-04-04T00:00:00Z	**PEP 687: Isolating modules in the standard library**
Extensions in the standard library will be converted to multi-phase initialization (PEP 489) and where possible, all state will be stored on module objects rather than in process-global variables. ⌘ [Read more](https://peps.python.org/pep-0687/)
2022-03-18T00:00:00Z	**PEP 686: Make UTF-8 mode default**
This PEP proposes enabling UTF-8 mode by default. ⌘ [Read more](https://peps.python.org/pep-0686/)
2022-04-23T00:00:00Z	**PEP 688: Making the buffer protocol accessible in Python**
This PEP proposes a mechanism for Python code to inspect whether a type supports the C-level buffer protocol. This allows type checkers to evaluate whether objects implement the protocol. ⌘ [Read more](https://peps.python.org/pep-0688/)
2022-04-29T00:00:00Z	**PEP 690: Lazy Imports**
This PEP proposes a feature to transparently defer the execution of imported modules until the moment when an imported object is used. Since Python programs commonly import many more modules than a single invocation of the program is likely to use in practice, lazy imports can greatly reduce the overall number of modules loaded, improving startup time and memory usage. Lazy imports also mostly eliminate the risk of import cycles. ⌘ [Read more](https://peps.python.org/pep-0690/)
2022-05-04T00:00:00Z	**PEP 691: JSON-based Simple API for Python Package Indexes**
The "Simple Repository API" that was defined in PEP 503 (and was in use much longer than that) has served us reasonably well for a very long time. However, the reliance on using HTML as the data exchange mechanism has several shortcomings. ⌘ [Read more](https://peps.python.org/pep-0691/)
2022-05-24T00:00:00Z	**PEP 693: Python 3.12 Release Schedule**
This document describes the development and release schedule for Python 3.12. The schedule primarily concerns itself with PEP-sized items. ⌘ [Read more](https://peps.python.org/pep-0693/)
2022-07-14T00:00:00Z	**PEP 696: Type defaults for TypeVarLikes**
This PEP introduces the concept of type defaults for TypeVarLikes (TypeVar, ParamSpec and TypeVarTuple), which act as defaults for a type parameter when none is specified. ⌘ [Read more](https://peps.python.org/pep-0696/)
2022-08-23T00:00:00Z	**PEP 697: C API for Extending Opaque Types**
Add limited C API for extending types whose struct is opaque, by allowing code to only deal with data specific to a particular (sub)class. ⌘ [Read more](https://peps.python.org/pep-0697/)
2022-09-05T00:00:00Z	**PEP 698: Override Decorator for Static Typing**
This PEP proposes adding an @override decorator to the Python type system. This will allow type checkers to prevent a class of bugs that occur when a base class changes methods that are inherited by derived classes. ⌘ [Read more](https://peps.python.org/pep-0698/)
2022-10-03T00:00:00Z	**PEP 699: Remove private dict version field added in PEP 509**
PEP 509 introduced a private ma\_version\_tag field for dictionaries to allow optimizations in CPython and extension libraries. This PEP proposes to rescind PEP 509 and declare the field an implementation detail, as it has already been superseded by alternatives. This will further allow the field to be reused for future optimization. ⌘ [Read more](https://peps.python.org/pep-0699/)
2022-10-21T00:00:00Z	**PEP 700: Additional Fields for the Simple API for Package Indexes**
PEP 691 defined a JSON form for the "Simple Repository API". This allowed clients to more easily query the data that was previously only available in HTML, as defined in PEP 503. ⌘ [Read more](https://peps.python.org/pep-0700/)
2022-11-08T00:00:00Z	**PEP 8104: 2023 Term Steering Council election**
This document describes the schedule and other details of the December 2022 election for the Python steering council, as specified in PEP 13. This is the steering council election for the 2023 term (i.e. Python 3.12). ⌘ [Read more](https://peps.python.org/pep-8104/)
2022-11-15T00:00:00Z	**PEP 701: Syntactic formalization of f-strings**
This document proposes to lift some of the restrictions originally formulated in PEP 498 and to provide a formalized grammar for f-strings that can be integrated into the parser directly. The proposed syntactic formalization of f-strings will have some small side-effects on how f-strings are parsed and interpreted, allowing for a considerable number of advantages for end users and library developers, while also dramatically reducing the maintenance cost of the code dedicated to parsing f- ... ⌘ [Read more](https://peps.python.org/pep-0701/)
2022-12-30T00:00:00Z	**PEP 702: Marking deprecations using the type system**
This PEP adds an @typing.deprecated() decorator that marks a class or function as deprecated, enabling static checkers to warn when it is used. ⌘ [Read more](https://peps.python.org/pep-0702/)
2023-01-09T00:00:00Z	**PEP 703: Making the Global Interpreter Lock Optional in CPython**
CPython's global interpreter lock ("GIL") prevents multiple threads from executing Python code at the same time. The GIL is an obstacle to using multi-core CPUs from Python efficiently. This PEP proposes adding a build configuration (--without-gil) to CPython to let it run Python code without the global interpreter lock and with the necessary changes needed to make the interpreter thread-safe. ⌘ [Read more](https://peps.python.org/pep-0703/)
2023-01-16T00:00:00Z	**PEP 704: Require virtual environments by default for package installers**
This PEP recommends that package installers like pip require a virtual environment by default on Python 3.13+. ⌘ [Read more](https://peps.python.org/pep-0704/)
2023-02-09T00:00:00Z	**PEP 706: Filter for tarfile.extractall**
The extraction methods in :external+py3.11:mod:\`tarfile\` gain a filter argument, which allows rejecting files or modifying metadata as the archive is extracted. Three built-in named filters are provided, aimed at limiting features that might be surprising or dangerous. These can be used as-is, or serve as a base for custom filters. ⌘ [Read more](https://peps.python.org/pep-0706/)
2023-02-20T00:00:00Z	**PEP 708: Extending the Repository API to Mitigate Dependency Confusion Attacks**
Dependency confusion attacks, in which a malicious package is installed instead of the one the user expected, are an increasingly common supply chain threat. Most such attacks against Python dependencies, including the recent PyTorch incident, occur with multiple package repositories, where a dependency expected to come from one repository (e.g. a custom index) is installed from another (e.g. PyPI). ⌘ [Read more](https://peps.python.org/pep-0708/)
2023-02-24T00:00:00Z	**PEP 709: Inlined comprehensions**
Comprehensions are currently compiled as nested functions, which provides isolation of the comprehension's iteration variable, but is inefficient at runtime. This PEP proposes to inline list, dictionary, and set comprehensions into the function where they are defined, and provide the expected isolation by pushing/popping clashing locals on the stack. This change makes comprehensions much faster: up to 2x faster for a microbenchmark of a comprehension alone, translating to an 11% speedup for one sample  ... ⌘ [Read more](https://peps.python.org/pep-0709/)
2023-03-27T00:00:00Z	**PEP 710: Recording the provenance of installed packages**
This PEP describes a way to record the provenance of installed Python distributions. The record is created by an installer and is available to users in the form of a JSON file provenance\_url.json in the .dist-info directory. The mentioned JSON file captures additional metadata to allow recording a URL to a :term:\`distribution package\` together with the installed distribution hash. This proposal is built on top of PEP 610 following :ref:\`its corresponding canonical PyPA spec  ... ⌘ [Read more](https://peps.python.org/pep-0710/)
2023-04-06T00:00:00Z	**PEP 711: PyBI: a standard format for distributing Python Binaries**
“Like wheels, but instead of a pre-built python package, it’s a pre-built python interpreter” ⌘ [Read more](https://peps.python.org/pep-0711/)
2023-04-20T00:00:00Z	**PEP 713: Callable Modules**
Modules are currently not directly callable. Classes can define a \_\_call\_\_ method that makes instance objects callable, but defining a similarly named function in the global module scope has no effect, and that function can only be called by importing or referencing it directly as module.\_\_call\_\_. PEP 562 added support for :meth:\`~object.\_\_getattr\_\_\` and :meth:\`~object.\_\_dir\_\_\` for modules, but defining \_\_getattr\_\_ to return a value for \_\_call\_\_ still does not make a module callab ... ⌘ [Read more](https://peps.python.org/pep-0713/)
2023-06-06T00:00:00Z	**PEP 714: Rename dist-info-metadata in the Simple API**
This PEP renames the metadata provided by PEP 658 in both HTML and JSON formats of the Simple API and provides guidelines for both clients and servers in how to handle the renaming. ⌘ [Read more](https://peps.python.org/pep-0714/)
2023-07-12T00:00:00Z	**PEP 721: Using tarfile.data_filter for source distribution extraction**
Extracting a source distribution archive should normally use the data filter added in PEP 706. We clarify details, and specify the behaviour for tools that cannot use the filter directly. ⌘ [Read more](https://peps.python.org/pep-0721/)
2023-07-19T00:00:00Z	**PEP 722: Dependency specification for single-file scripts**
This PEP specifies a format for including 3rd-party dependencies in a single-file Python script. ⌘ [Read more](https://peps.python.org/pep-0722/)
2023-07-19T00:00:00Z	**PEP 722: Dependency specification for single-file scripts**

2023-08-04T00:00:00Z	**PEP 723: Embedding pyproject.toml in single-file scripts**
This PEP specifies a metadata format that can be embedded in single-file Python scripts to assist launchers, IDEs and other external tools which may need to interact with such scripts. ⌘ [Read more](https://peps.python.org/pep-0723/)
2023-08-17T00:00:00Z	**PEP 725: Specifying external dependencies in pyproject.toml**
This PEP specifies how to write a project’s external, or non-PyPI, build and runtime dependencies in a pyproject.toml file for packaging-related tools to consume. ⌘ [Read more](https://peps.python.org/pep-0725/)
2023-08-28T00:00:00Z	**PEP 727: Documentation Metadata in Typing**
This document proposes a way to complement docstrings to add additional documentation to Python symbols using type annotations with Annotated (in class attributes, function and method parameters, return values, and variables). ⌘ [Read more](https://peps.python.org/pep-0727/)
2023-09-19T00:00:00Z	**PEP 729: Typing governance process**
This PEP proposes a new way to govern the Python type system: a council that is responsible for maintaining and developing the Python type system. The council will maintain a specification and conformance test suite and will initially be appointed by the Python Steering Council. ⌘ [Read more](https://peps.python.org/pep-0729/)
2023-10-09T00:00:00Z	**PEP 730: Adding iOS as a supported platform**
This PEP proposes adding iOS as a supported platform in CPython. The initial goal is to achieve Tier 3 support for Python 3.13. This PEP describes the technical aspects of the changes that are required to support iOS. It also describes the project management concerns related to adoption of iOS as a Tier 3 platform. ⌘ [Read more](https://peps.python.org/pep-0730/)

2023-11-06T00:00:00Z	**PEP 734: Multiple Interpreters in the Stdlib**
This PEP proposes to add a new module, interpreters, to support inspecting, creating, and running code in multiple interpreters in the current process. This includes Interpreter objects that represent the underlying interpreters. The module will also provide a basic Queue class for communication between interpreters. Finally, we will add a new concurrent.futures.InterpreterPoolExecutor based on the interpreters module. ⌘ [Read more](https://peps.python.org/pep-0734/)
2023-11-29T00:00:00Z	**PEP 737: Unify type name formatting**
Add new convenient APIs to format type names the same way in Python and in C. No longer format type names differently depending on how types are implemented. Also, put an end to truncating type names in C. The new C API is compatible with the limited C API. ⌘ [Read more](https://peps.python.org/pep-0737/)
