I'd say use the new names, so people can get used to them sooner -- otherwise all you do is postpone the confusion until they're going to use 3.0. People who've only head of Queue will be fine as long as searching for Queue in the index and TOC will find them a pointer to queue (and that one has a "versionadded 2.6 -- renamed from Queue" note). -- --Guido van Rossum (home page: http://www.python.org/~guido/) _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
