I updated and completed Chi Hsuan Yen's 3.6-deprecate-macpath.patch to create a pull request. I suggest to start by deprecating macpath in 3.7, and remove it from Python 3.8. This module is here for years. macOS 9 is now dead, all macOS users migrated to OS X nowadays. I don't think that there is an urgency to *remove* macpath. The title says "obsolete macpath module dangerously broken": is "dangerous" still up to date after the following fix? New changeset 54987723de99 by Serhiy Storchaka in branch '3.4': Issue #9850: Fixed macpath.join() for empty first component. Patch by https://hg.python.org/cpython/rev/54987723de99 If yes, we may also warn users in the macpath documentation that the module is dangerous, especially in the documentation of Python < 3.7. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue9850> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
