New submission from Jess Austin <jess.aus...@gmail.com>: Class names that comply with the CapWords naming convention described in PEP 8 (http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0008/) are preferred. See the recent discussion that included the BDFL's recommendations at http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2009-March/086684.html.
Per those recommendations, the attached patch updates every class to expose a CapWords name to python: datetime.timedelta --> datetime.TimeDelta datetime.date --> datetime.Date datetime.tzinfo --> datetime.TZInfo datetime.time --> datetime.Time datetime.datetime --> datetime.DateTime In addition, the old lowercase names are reproduced as derived classes, the methods of which throw PendingDeprecationWarning, and the docstrings of which advise using the new CapWords class names. The test_datetime.py unit test is updated to check for proper functionality and for the presence of the pending deprecation warnings. (This patch relies on the previously-submitted refactoring patch attached to Issue 5520, http://bugs.python.org/issue5520.) Various other tests and support files are updated to use the new CapWords class names. The current patch still fails one test in test_datetime.py, due to previously-existing Issue 5516, http://bugs.python.org/issue5516. This patch includes no documentation updates. ---------- components: Library (Lib) files: pending_dep.diff keywords: patch messages: 83921 nosy: jess.austin severity: normal status: open title: datetime class names should obey PEP 8 CapWords convention type: behavior versions: Python 3.1 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file13386/pending_dep.diff _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue5530> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
