> If we started the deprecation period in 3.4, we could finish it in 3.6. That makes little sense. You can't start deprecation in 3.4 or in 3.5 since these have been released already. But what I said implies that you can make these things mandatory in 3.6 without having to worry about deprecating them, so the start of the deprecation period is meaningless. However I do encourage you to be conservative, and add a warning about this and similar cases when the alphas and betas go out; and if you get much pushback during beta consider changing your mind. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue18726> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
