> I don't see a reason to deprecate it at all just now (though perhaps in _my_ ideal world that would happen at some point), but I'm not sure if it's worth keeping the current interface in the documentation at all?
IMHO, we should eventually take the advice from the zen of Python "There should be one-- and preferably only one --obvious way to do it.". While we should not take this as dogma, I do think it is generally wise. If there are increased concerns about existing projects, perhaps we could delay the initial deprecation or apply some kind of extended deprecation period that would allow projects more time to migrate. Removing the old interface from the docs is a great first step. But ultimately, I think having two interfaces to solve the same tasks confuses new library users and makes project coding styles more difficult than necessary. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django developers (Contributions to Django itself)" group.
