[Python-Dev] logging package -- rename warn to warning? (original) (raw)

I think I'd like to change 'warn' to 'warning' (and WARN to WARNING). While warn() sounds nice as a verb, none of the other functions/methods are verbs, so I think it's better to name the levels after conventional level names. 'Warning' is definitely a better name if you think of a logging level than 'warn'.

Thoughts? I can implement this for Python 2.3a2.
