It's not. We rarely deprecate syntax, and we should at least give people a chance to move away from the old syntax first to the new first, so we'll have to support both for a bit at least. When we do deprecate the old way of doing things, I think we'll just use Errors.warning(...). In the long run it'd be nice to have a formal grammar for Cython and use a generated parser rather than maintaining this all by hand, but Parsing.py does more than just parsing at the moment. - Robert > [1] http://mail.python.org/pipermail/cython-devel/2011-February/000081.html > [2] http://mail.python.org/pipermail/cython-devel/2011-February/000086.html > [3] > https://github.com/wking/cython/commit/a918d1466928ea712817df18c3bc66d9c4c5c53f#L1R2552 > [4] > https://github.com/wking/cython/commit/a918d1466928ea712817df18c3bc66d9c4c5c53f > > -- > This email may be signed or encrypted with GPG (http://www.gnupg.org). > The GPG signature (if present) will be attached as 'signature.asc'. > For more information, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pretty_Good_Privacy > > My public key is at http://www.physics.drexel.edu/~wking/pubkey.txt > > _______________________________________________ > cython-devel mailing list > cython-devel@python.org > http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/cython-devel > > _______________________________________________ cython-devel mailing list cython-devel@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/cython-devel
