[Python-Dev] Is it useful to update cgitb module?
Hello, I wonder if it's useful to update the cgitb module, in particular the html output. I see some possible improvements: 1. In both text and html versions: When a module is called, there are no parameters (displayed as '()'). I think they are unnecessary. Perhaps the parentheses should be removed? Perhaps it's better to keep them for backward compatibility? ### example for the text version ### $ python3 demo.py [...] /home/stephane/src/cgitest/demo.py in () 7 def func1(a, b): [...] ### end of example ### 2. In html version only: a. If the executed code is in : in this case, it is not shown in the html version because the square brackets are interpreted as a html tag (see the picture in attachement). b. Update the style of the html or/and using html5. It would be prettier but it will be a big change for probably too few benefits. What do you think about them? I can report bugs and send pull-requests for them but I would prefer to get feedbacks before.

I wonder if it would be interesting to have a package available by
pypi.org which would provide the removed features. In your example, the
developers would have to update their source code:
# giving 'obsolete' as name for this package
platform.linux_distribution() -> obsolete.platform.linux_distribution()
The code in 'obsolete' package could come from the removed code from
cpython or a wrapper around a third-party package ('distro' package in
the example).
Plus:
- quick temporary fix for users -> the removal is less painful
- the name of the import is a hint that something has to be fixed ->
useful for new comers on the user source code
Cons:
- it pushes the question to how many times the previous behavior should
be maintained from python language to 'obsolete' package. So it's not
completely solved.
- it adds a step to removal procedure.
- I guess there are some features not movable into a package.
