Isn’t this a case where you would add a big red “Deprecated since version . . .” warning instead? Maybe a comprimise would be to “hide” its documentation away in a separate deprecated section or something.
Well, I wasn't proposing a deprecation (although that can be done as well, if we want). I was proposing that this detail be hidden. I don't know if it would make existing software harder to understand. I don't think I've ever seen an actively-maintained project that used runTest(). The simple way to hide it would be to stop documenting the TestCase constructor and its signature. You aren't supposed to instantiate TestCase yourself. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue22153> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
