I can respect that viewpoint. So what do you propose to do with existing modules like optparse that aren't required to make platform independent applications and are out of date and basically unmaintained? One option would be to remove them, but that's probably too drastic. Another option would be to add documentation to them warning that they're out of date and pointing users to alternative external libraries. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue6247> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
