What is the official procedure for changing the name of a method?
I have to fix a common error in two functions (in sage/combinat/
root_system/root_lattice_realizations.py)
which are element methods of root-lattice-realizations:
to_positive_chamber and reduced_word.
I want to call them to_dominant_chamber and weyl_direction.
I'm open to even better names if someone has a suggestion.
My current solution is to write two new functions (really one function
and the second calls the first)
and change the old ones to call the new ones. There were only a few
uses of the old functions in the code (all occurring in doctests) and
I changed the ones I found.
Is there an easy way to check all the source code for a certain method
call?
sage: search_src?
or in a terminal:
cd SAGE_ROOT/devel/sage-combinat/sage
grep -r to_positive_chamber .
If you are using zsh you can use instead:
grep to_positive_chamber **/*.py
Beside, you should use
sage: sage.misc.misc.deprecated_function_alias?
to temporary let the method be accessible through its former name.
For a discussion on the topic, see
