I searched for open issues which contain "cgi" in their title. I found 43 open issues. The oldest is 101 months ago. In 10 years, Lib/cgi.py got 43 commits. Only 13 commits in the last 5 years (since 2016-01-01). It seems like the cgi module is not really maintained anymore. One option is to do nothing: I guess that the most basic features continue to work. Another option is to start deprecating all code related to CGI in the stdlib. While CGI is not "commonly" used, it seems like it remains popular for specific usages. So I don't think that it's time to deprecate it :-) > You can for sure make a pull request and see if a core dev will review and > merge it Yep, just do that ;-) So far, nobody proposed a PR to fix this issue. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue10483> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
