Hey, here's an idea. We could add the warning API to 2.0.1 (it's backwards compatible AFAIK), and you can release PY201 with warnings added for things that your customers will need to change before they switch to PY21.
Definately +1 on that.
Hold on. Jeremy has an announcement to make. But he's probably still struggling home -- about 3-4 inches of snow (so far) were dumped on the DC area this afternoon.
While on the subject: will all of 'from module import *' be deprecated, even at module level ?
No, not at the module level. (There it is only frowned upon. :-)
How should code like Mailman's mm_cfg.py/Defaults.py construct be rewritten to provide similar functionality ? Much as I dislike 'from module import *', it really does have its uses.
I have no idea what mm_cfg.py/Defaults.py is, but yes, import * has its uses! --Guido van Rossum (home page: http://www.python.org/~guido/)
