The deprecation warning has gone away in 3.2,
No, still there:
def encodestring(s):
"""Legacy alias of encodebytes()."""
import warnings
warnings.warn("encodestring() is a deprecated alias, use
encodebytes()",
DeprecationWarning, 2)
return encodebytes(s)
but the function
remains... does anyone know if this was intentional?
In 3.2, DeprecationWarnings are turned off by default so as to not annoy
users who can do nothing about them and developers who do not want to do
anything at the moment. I presume the doc for warnings says how to turn
them back on.
