New submission from Tres Seaver <tsea...@agendaless.com>: I'm working on cleaning up deprecations for Zope and related packages under Python 2.6. The irony here is that I'm receiving deprecation warnings for custom exception classes which had a 'message' attribute long before the abortive attempt to add them to the BaseException type, which hardly seems reasonable.
For instance, docutils.parsers.rst defines a DirectiveError which takes two arguments, 'level' and 'message', and therefore gets hit with the deprecation (even though it never used the new signature). Likewise, ZODB.POSException defines a ConflictError type which takes 'message' as one of several arguments, all optional, and has since at least 2002. I don't think either of these classes should be subject to a deprecation warning for a feature they never used or depended on. ---------- components: Library (Lib) messages: 85695 nosy: tseaver severity: normal status: open title: Overzealous deprecation of BaseException.message versions: Python 2.6 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue5716> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
