No. It's not. Here's an example - brand new python hacker I know is using third party libraries in his app. He runs that app hundreds of times a day, and gets 3-4 deprecation warnings every time he runs that application. At first I told him to ignore it - then he showed me the logs from the app which were rife with them. I gave him the snippet of code to filter them out pretty quickly. jesse _______________________________________________ stdlib-sig mailing list [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/stdlib-sig
