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

I thought one reason for the current names is that they match the log4j tool and all the other language's versions of that tool. I'd like to see the package keep the standard names to make it easier for someone to pick up this package. Those names are debug, info, warn, error, fatal.

OK. I tried changing warn to warning, and was worried about the amount of code I'd have to change (at least two versions of Zope have their own copy of the logging package now). Changing critical to fatal would be less work, because there are fewer invocations.
