New submission from Terry J. Reedy <tjre...@udel.edu>: https://docs.python.org/3/c-api/unicode.html#deprecated-py-unicode-apis says "Deprecated since version 3.3, will be removed in version 4.0." (I am aware that the quote above was written before we decided that '3.9' should be followed by '3.10' rather than '4.0' to avoid giving mis-impressions.)
There is currently no plan for a '4.0' and part of the reason is that it stirs up unnecessary negative feeling in people. For example: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/53899931/why-does-an-empty-string-in-python-sometimes-take-up-49-bytes-and-sometimes-51 The second most upvoted comment (9) is "seeing a reference to a "[Python] 4.0" is giving me anxiety..." – Mike Caron (11000+ reputation). We, as well as they, don't need this. When '4.0' was used in an asyncio deprecation, it was changed. Let us do the same elsewhere. ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 332745 nosy: docs@python, terry.reedy, vstinner priority: normal severity: normal stage: needs patch status: open title: Change references to '4.0'. versions: Python 3.7, Python 3.8 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue35616> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
