As an alternative, how about a __preview__ or __provisional__ attribute on modules that are in this provisional state? So just add that big warning to the docs, as Guido suggested, and set the attribute as a programmatic indicator. Perhaps also add sys.provisional_modules (or wherever) to explicitly give the full list for the current Python version. -eric _______________________________________________ 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
