[New-bugs-announce] [issue32050] Deprecated python3 -x option

[STINNER Victor]

New submission from STINNER Victor <victor.stinner at gmail.com>:

Python has a -x option documented as a "DOS specific hack only":
https://docs.python.org/dev/using/cmdline.html#cmdoption-x

Python doesn't support MS-DOS since Python 2.1:
https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0011/#no-longer-supported-platforms

I propose to deprecate the option in Python 3.7: using it emits a DeprecationWarning, option deprecated in the documentation; and remove the option in Python 3.8.
