Robert Collins added the comment: We've now spent more time debating the deprecation that we would have saved if it had been deprecated.
Deprecations cost user good will. Whilst I very much want to delete all assertions in favour of matchers, which would allow composed symmetry rather than the manual symmetry we have today. Like michael I don't see any benefit in getting rid of it either. I don't believe it will make the API substantially easier to learn: the lack of symmetry increases special cases, so it will IMO make it harder to learn. Unless you've new arguments to make about this, I think the ticket can be closed WONTFIX. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue30221> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
