PEP 649: Deferred evaluation of annotations, tentatively accepted

FWIW, I’m definitely not going to be ready to check in 649 by May 8th, the feature freeze for 3.12

Did you see Thomas’ announcement about an extra 2 weeks due to all the changes in flight? Does that change anything?

@thomas

Considering how many accepted changes are still being worked on (PEPs 684, 687, 688, 695, 697 at least) and still being decided on by the SC (PEPs 649, 702 and 709), I’m planning to postpone feature freeze and beta 1 for 3.12 by two weeks, without changing the rest of the schedule.

I knew he was talking about it, but so far the 3.12 release schedule hasn’t changed.

The extra two weeks would make it pretty reasonable to get 649 in. But to be clear: the Steering Council have yet to render their decision on 649, much less ask that it be merged into 3.12.

The steering council has accepted PEP 649 for 3.13. So no need to worry about the time between now and 3.12beta1 in a two weeks, but we would like it to happen reasonably soon after that to give everybody using the main branch more experience with it.
