The problem with just leaving it out is that learners stumbling over them in existing code (likely by trying to use something that looks like it should be there and getting an AttributeError) won't have a chance of knowing what the problem might be. I'd be fine seeing new uses discouraged, especially for new learners, but I think it's important that they be given a heads-up as well. -Fred ---------- nosy: +fdrake _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue8638> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
