In that case, I don't think it's possible to do anything on import - AFAIK, if the module foo is already loaded/initialized, import foo is equivalent to foo = sys.modules['foo'] and doesn't invoke any module-specific code... You could issue a warning on each and every method call in your module, so that when it's used, the user gets warned. Then you could cache whether a warning has been issued already in a global static variable or in module state to be able to only warn once.

I'm only familiar with Python 3 extension writing, but there shouldn't have been that much change... Where do you call the Py_InitModule4? I would have expected you call it in your initfoo function - which is also a good place to issue a warning. - the initfoo (or PyInit_foo) function is called when the module is first imported. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

How are modules ever marked as deprecated? I think all there is to it is issuing a DeprecationWarning... something like PyErr_WarnEx(PyExc_DeprecationWarning, foo deprecated. use fuzz, 1); maybe. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
