Hi,
I'm pretty new to python, I'm trying to figure out how a python module
is supposed to make non-backwards-compatible changes without blowing up
the applications that use it.
In the C world this is straightforward, an application is linked against
version X of the library, and if the library developers make a
non-compatible change (remove a deprecated function, or change a
function signature) they bump the version to X+1. Then versions X and
X+1 can both be installed on the system at the same time and
applications will link against whichever one they were compiled against.
How would something like this work in a python application? I don't see
any way to do the equivalent of
import foo version X
Is the only way to incorporate the version in the name? Like:
import fooX
Any guidance would be appreciated...
Thanks,
Chris
