This is the vote to choose how the CPython project will govern
itself, now that Guido has announced his retirement as BDFL. For
full details, see <a
href="https://peps.pythonlang.cn/pep-8001/">PEP
8001</a>. Many discussions have occurred under <a
href="https://discuss.python.org/tags/governance">the "governance"
tag</a> on discuss.python.org.
<p>
All votes must be received <b>by the end of December 16th, 2018, <a
href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anywhere_on_Earth">Anywhere on
Earth</a></b>. All CPython core developers are <a
href="https://github.com/python/voters">eligible to vote</a>.
It is asked that inactive core developers <i>who intend to remain
inactive</i> abstain from voting.
<p>
<b>Note: You can only vote once, and all votes are final.</b> Once
you click "Submit ranking", it's too late to change your mind.
<p>
All ballots will be published at the end of voting, but <b>without
any names attached</b>. No-one associated with the Python project or
the PSF will know how you voted, or even whether you voted.
<p>
If you have any questions, you can post in <a
href="https://discuss.python.org/c/committers">the Committers
topic</a>, on <a href="mailto:python-committers@python.org">the
python-committers list</a>, or <a

directly</a>.

<h1>Options</h1>
<p>
We're selecting between seven PEPs, each proposing a different
governance model.
<p>
The options below include links to the text of each PEP, as well
as their complete change history. The text of these PEPs was
frozen on December 1, when the vote started. But if you looked at
the PEPs before that, they might have changed. Please take the
time to check the current text of the PEPs if you read an older
draft.
<p>
A "Further discussion" option is also included. It represents the
option of not making a choice at all at this time, and continuing
the discussion instead. Including this option lets us demonstrate
the core team's readiness to move forward.
<p>
If you think a proposal is a particularly bad idea, you can
express that by ranking it below "Further discussion". If you
think all of the proposals are better than further discussion,
then you should rank "Further discussion" last.
