Based on our experiences so far, I think that of the two options we have, both of which are bad, it's better to keep things in 3.1 that we were planning to remove but forgot, than to make 3.1 have a whole slew of additional removals. We've removed cmp() in 3.0.1, and I think that was actually the right thing to do given its prominence and the clear decision to remove it, but for smaller stuff that didn't make the cut I think we should favor backwards compatibility over cleanup. -- --Guido van Rossum (home page: http://www.python.org/~guido/) _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
