Guido van Rossum resigns as Python leader

Python creator and Benevolent Dictator for Life Guido van Rossum has decided,in the wake of the difficult PEP 572discussion, to step down from his leadership of the project. "Now that PEP 572 is done, I don't ever want to have to fight so hard for aPEP and find that so many people despise my decisions.I would like to remove myself entirely from the decision process. I'llstill be there for a while as an ordinary core dev, and I'll still beavailable to mentor people -- possibly more available. But I'm basicallygiving myself a permanent vacation from being BDFL, and you all will be onyour own."
