[Python-Dev] deprecated stuff in standard library (original) (raw)

I have noticed that deprecated stuff is still being used in the standard Python library. When using modules that contain deprecated stuff you get a warning, and as a mere user there isn't much you can do about that.

As a general rule, the Python standard library should not use deprecated constructs in non-deprecated (or otherwise deprecated) modules.

The case I am running into is that mhlib uses multifile (in 2.6).
