Sorry, I have an existence proof, but no construction. :-) Ideas welcome. Silent deprecations, loud documentation, biweekly home visits, whatever, as long as it doesn't log a message by default. The thing is, in practice, people will be testing with a new release anyway, and that's the earliest time they are likely to take action (other than silencing the warnings). -- --Guido van Rossum (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
