This breaks quite a few third-party modules, some with segfaults; we (as in Fedora) ran into this building with 2.7 as the standard /usr/bin/python for Fedora 14. We fixed some of them, but are advising people not to turn on warnings as errors in our release notes [1] See this tracker bug for a survey of the gory details: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/showdependencytree.cgi?id=620842&hide_resolved=0 The list includes SWIG, numpy, and the GTK stack. I'd be more than happy to patch Fedora's python builds to remove the deprecation warning, but I don't want to stray too far from python.org's "official" behavior here. So, I'm +1 on removing this deprecation warning in 2.7, FWIW (though I'm not a committer yet) Hope this is helpful Dave [1] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/Python_2.7#Caveat:_PyCObject_and_warnings _______________________________________________ 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
