Documentation and a new kind of deprecation warning. It's documentation-deprecated in one version, one later a real deprecation warning appears that sticks around for a couple of versions. The documentation would explain how to hide the deprecation warning and tells the user to better use more modern alternatives. This of course requires packaging to work flawlessly first which I consider to be high priority. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue6247> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
