(Well, at least two people (myself and Robert) has opposed this being the default (and not for reasons of backwards compatability!), so I don't think we're at the stage where we can discuss deprecation just yet :-)) I think it's done on a case-by-case basis. As an example though, we're currently, in 0.11, deprecating the current integer division semantics by printing warnings; they will then be changed in 0.12. -- Dag Sverre _______________________________________________ Cython-dev mailing list [email protected] http://codespeak.net/mailman/listinfo/cython-dev
