Among the utilities scrapy has to make it's own development easier I bumped on scrapy.utils.misc.load_object. I'd like to use this utility while being sure that it won't change without at least going through deprecation and removal on a next release.
I write extensions and one needs a class that should live inside the scrapy project. In the settings file, references to classes are often written as strings which use the dot notation for python imports. These are mostly read by internal parts that wouldn't need documentation but some builtin extensions/middlewares also use it. So reused it. These builtins, I suspect, served as examples more people than me so it wouldn't surprise me if others went the same way. I suggest documenting it to ensure it will not be abruptly removed. I want to open a PR/ticket for this but do you (developers) agree on the suggestion or would I just waste time on it? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "scrapy-users" group.
