(original) (raw)
If you ask me this PEP is not going to make everyone happy, but I think it is an improvement, and it seems many people are in agreement or at least don't object to it (and obviously Nick thinks it's going to be a big improvement).
Therefore I am planning to accept it by the end of this week unless more objections are voiced.
Honestly, I didn't completely follow what Victor thinks of the PEP -- his post seemed mostly about promoting his own -X dev flag. I have nothing against that flag but I don't see how its existence is relevant to the PEP, which is about giving users who don't even know they are Python developers a hint when they are using deprecated features (for which there always must be a shiny new replacement!).
