I haven't actually thought about this, but I guess that is will happen soon=
er=20
or later. I started working on the code in the scipt svn repository, and I'=
m=20
not to well oriented how the dev procedure works. Maybe Travis can tell us=

about long-term strategy for the PEP, if there already is some?

There was a PEP back in 2001 concerning MD-arrays=20
(http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0209/), which is was even featured in t=

"PEP parade" (http://www.python.org/doc/essays/pepparade.html), but got=20
deferred, abandoned, withdrawn, or something else.
