I have the feeling that almost the complete Python community is abusing deprecations. I was hit by deprecations in the "email" package: The deprecation told me to use a different method, but this method was not a full replacement for the old one and failed in my use case. In the next release, my old method was removed -- but fortunately, I know how to recreate methods and silence stupid deprecations. -- Dieter _______________________________________________ Zope3-dev mailing list [email protected] Unsub: http://mail.zope.org/mailman/options/zope3-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
