Jürgen Gmach <juergen.gm...@googlemail.com> added the comment: There is PEP 594 (draft), which - when accepted - will remove cgi.FieldStorage
https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0594/ https://discuss.python.org/t/pep-594-removing-dead-batteries-from-the-standard-library/1704 This comes from an idea to relief the burden of maintenance for the maintainers. Some off-topic comments... cgi.FieldStorage has quite some unresolved issues, partially open for many years, although there are also some pull requests, waiting for review. While cgi.FieldStorage is certainly a niche thing, it is used by Zope, by Plone, by webob... The latter even has a 250 line compat module to accomodate for current bugs ( https://github.com/Pylons/webob/blob/5c062aef9397b27915c5cc2ed2f202bff7494eca/src/webob/compat.py ). If you, Javier, are also a fan of cgi.FieldStorage want to improve the situation with cgi.FieldStorage, maybe you could help reviewing the open issues and the open pull requests for cpython? ---------- nosy: +jugmac00 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue42004> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
