For the record, I'm quite unhappy that xml.etree.cElementTree was removed without going through a proper active deprecation cycle with plenty of head start. The removal came as a surprise to me -- and I'm a core dev, author of PEP 594 and owner of the defusedxml package. xml.etree.cElementTree module was also never added to PEP 4 and is still not mentioned as removed in PEP 4. This changeset broke defusedxml, a package with over 10M downloads a month and 57k dependencies on Github. I'm sure that the removal is going to cause more trouble for other packages, too. In PEP 594 I deliberately included a long deprecation phase for all packages with at least one release deprecation warnings. I gave users plenty of time to plan for removal. ---------- nosy: +christian.heimes _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue36543> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
