Have you read the thread about argparse and the deprecation of other modules? You are conflating two things: 1. the presence of somewhat outdated or too low-level modules 2. the desire to have best-of-breed options available in the stdlib We can do 2. without undoing 1. As Marc-André pointed out, even in py3k we only deprecated a handful of very marginal modules. Emphasizing the right modules in the documentation is probably a reasonably good answer to the problem of having several modules fulfilling the same needs. No need to go on a deprecation frenzy and start annoying the two thirds of our user base just because we decided to be pure rather than practical. _______________________________________________ stdlib-sig mailing list stdlib-sig@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/stdlib-sig
