STINNER Victor added the comment: The documentation of both modules begin with the following note:
"This module exists for backwards compatibility only. For new code we recommend using asyncio." What do you mean by deprecating the module? Emit a PendingDeprecationWarning in Python 3.6 and emit a DeprecationWarning in Python 3.7? > Maybe smtpd.py can be deprecated itself. Maybe it can be fun to rewrite the module using asyncio, but I'm not convinced that a SMTP server in the Python stdlib is super useful. (A HTTP server *is* very useful, it saved my life multiple times when I worked on embedded devices without any server available to transfer files.) ---------- nosy: +haypo _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue25002> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
