[Python-Dev] Backward incompatible API changes in the pydoc module

Mon Nov 8 17:02:24 CET 2010

Hi Nick,
If there is no enormous difficulty in maintaining compatibility, I think
the usual deprecation process should be followed. We don’t know who is
using pydoc as a library, so let’s play safe and not risk breaking their
code (especially considering that it must not have been easy to write
code extending pydoc :).
BTW, doesn’t the process start with PendingDeprecationWarnings, then
DeprecationWarnings?
Regards
