Okay; I'll open an issue for deprecation in 3.2 and removal in 3.3.
Can this sneak in under the 'incorrect language semantics' exemption
for PEP 3003 (the moratorium PEP)? If not, then deprecation
presumably has to wait for 3.3.
It seems that in spirit the moratorium applies more to language additions than
to removals/limitations. The goal being that alternate implementation stop
chasing a moving target in terms of features.
So IMVHO it is fine for 3.2.
Removing it certainly seems in keeping with the goal of making life
easier for alternate implementations. (Out of curiosity, does anyone
know what IronPython does here?)
Same as Jython and PyPy:
IronPython 2.6.1 (2.6.10920.0) on .NET 2.0.50727.4927
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
