PEP Tooltip

PEP Tooltip is a Chrome extension to add tooltips containing key information about Python Enhancement Proposals (PEP) mentioned in discuss.python.org messages.

To keep the popup digest, only a subset of PEP information fields are displayed; these may change based of feedback!

Messages loaded when scrolling one the page are detected and processed too (but not just posted / edited messages, at the moment).
