Hi,

I have a Python code I'd like to add to my Yocto build.
In this code, I use the string module ( 
https://docs.python.org/3/library/string.html ) from Python.

To make my code run on the target, I need to add the dependency of 
"python3-stringold" to my recipe.
I've looked at the description of this package, and it says: "Python string 
APIs [deprecated]".

My code works as expected on the target, but the naming of the package, and its 
description confuses me.
As far as I can tell, Python's string module is not currently deprecated. In 
the past, this module did use to contain more functionality, which moved to be 
part of the str object itself, but the module still contains other 
functionality, which is not deprecated.

I tried to trace the log of meta-poky to see when the deprecation notice was 
added, and it looks like it is there from the first commit adding this python 
(and this package) to the project:

commit 7defc582e098a099f9056aa4ff18e200361ad512

Add python+pyhton-pygtk2

git-svn-id: https://svn.o-hand.com/repos/poky/trunk@415 
311d38ba-8fff-0310-9ca6-ca027cbcb966

Is this deprecation message for the package wrong, or am I doing something 
wrong by using it?

Thanks for the help,
With Kind Regards,
Omri
