Senthil Kumaran added the comment: Sorry, I went ahead with committing it. But let's continue the discussion.
Leaving the parameter when we have said it will be deprecated may be a bad practice. It has remained unused for 2 versions now when the deprecation warning was added. The option 2 further presented a challenge with HTTPSConnection which was already using keyword-only args for last two parameters. Moving it up in the argument list may have presented a bad case. Two changes for one. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue17460> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
