Backwards Compatibility ======================= The names to be obsoleted should be deprecated and removed according to the schedule for modules in PEP 4 [#PEP-4]. While deprecated, use of the deprecated attributes should raise a DeprecationWarning, with a message stating which replacement name should be used. Is any provision being made for a 2to3 fixer/otherwise-automated transition for the changes you propose here?

As the deprecation is intended for 2.X and 3.X - is 2to3 fixer needed?
