<br>
I feel like I'm repeating the PEP, but here it is again anyway. There<br>
will be messages in the docs and pending deprecation warnings (which<br>
don't show up by default but can be requested) starting in Python 2.7<br>
and 3.2. Regular deprecation warnings wouldn't show up until Python<br>
3.4, 3 years away. This compromise was intended exactly to address the<br>
issue you brought up about people getting over the Python 3<br>
transition.<br>
