Personally, the only PEPs I've used as reference material as PEP 8
(the Python Style Guide), and PEP 249 (the Python Database API
Specification v2.0).  If I recall correctly, one of the database
adapters I used basically said that they were PEP 249 compliant, and
didn't have much documentation beyond that.

It seems to me that adding the PEPs to the compiled documentation
would be a good thing.  They are at least as useful as the Language
Reference or the Embedding and Extending Python sections that are
already included.
