[issue18716] Deprecate the formatter module

[Jim Fasarakis-Hilliard]

Jim Fasarakis-Hilliard added the comment:

Just bumped into this. 

Is the removal for this module waiting for the end of Python 2.7 support as PEP 
4 states for modules in Py2 and Py3? 

The first message calls for a removal in 3.6 so, I'm either missing some 
additional conversations on this or this might of just have been forgotten.

 They're not on Python 3.  I think we should keep the deprecation and let
 them roll their own when they upgrade.  It's not like the module provides
 much functionality in the first place.


What Larry said. =) Plus a single user in the world is not enough to
warrant keeping a module. The code is simple enough that if they want to
keep it they can simply copy it into their own code.

formatter module is used by (Python-3-compatible) Portage (package manager for 
Gentoo):
http://git.overlays.gentoo.org/gitweb/?p=proj/portage.git;a=summary

Maybe deprecation should be reverted.

[issue18716] Deprecate the formatter module

[Brett Cannon]

New submission from Brett Cannon:

Turns out the formatter module isn't really used by anyone. Pydoc uses it, but 
it could easily use textwrap. Searching on Github shows a usage by someone who 
simply re-exposes it as part of their own public API but has no actual usage 
themselves 
(https://github.com/search?q=%22import+formatter%22ref=searchresultstype=Code 
and 
https://github.com/search?q=%22from+formatter%22type=Coderef=searchresults) . 
A Google search only turns up references in books 
(https://www.google.ca/search?{google:acceptedSuggestion}oq=%22import+formatter%22{google:instantFieldTrialGroupParameter}sourceid=chromeie=UTF-8q=%22import+formatter%22qscrl=1#bav=on.2,or.r_cp.r_qf.fp=7bfd11bde90d01cbq=%22import+formatter%22+OR+%22from+formatter%22qscrl=1).

The attached patch deprecated formatter for removal in Python 3.6.
