It may, hypothetically, wither away from lack of use
OK I am clearly wrong with the statement I made. I had assumed the statement (*) that it would be deprecated in 3.1 was carried through, I had not actually checked the reality in the 3.1 and 3.2 differences documents. My apologies for misdirection, thanks for pulling me up on this. (*) There is no statement of when deprecation would happen in PEP 3101 itself http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-3101/ but there is an explicit statement in http://docs.python.org/release/3.0/whatsnew/3.0.html#pep-3101-a-new-approach-to-string-formatting which clearly didn't happen even though it led to a lot of people thinking it would. -- Russel. ============================================================================= Dr Russel Winder t: +44 20 7585 2200 voip: sip:russel.win...@ekiga.net 41 Buckmaster Road m: +44 7770 465 077 xmpp: rus...@winder.org.uk London SW11 1EN, UK w: www.russel.org.uk skype: russel_winder
