ENH: Add Stata 119 writer by bashtage · Pull Request #30959 · pandas-dev/pandas (original) (raw)

That was the idea -- it is a very trivial change to enable the new format, but StataWriter118 doesn't make sense when it supports format 119 too.

I've gone down the deprecation path to 2.0 deprecation. TBH I don't think (m)any will use StataWriter118 directly since to_stata contains virtually all of the functionality.

I can revert this if quick deprecation/renaming is better.
