I think we can remove these in 3.8. My understanding of the policy (which I cannot find: the search terms are too generic) is that if a module defines __all__, and the symbol we want to remove isn't in it, then we can remove the symbol in the next feature release without requiring a deprecation period. If a module doesn't define __all__, then we need a deprecation period in order to remove a symbol, unless the symbol is a module, and then we can just remove it in the next feature release. ---------- nosy: +eric.smith versions: +Python 3.8 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue35202> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
