This GitHub repo is used for drafting of this PEP. Technical discussion around the PEP should happen in the issue tracker. The official PEPS repository is only updated when a new draft is posted on python-dev. The python.org site automatically updates (with a slight delay, typically in the order of 5-60 minutes) whenever the python/peps repo is updated.
