Consider deprecating platform.java_ver because it is only helpful for Jython · Issue #116349 · python/cpython (original) (raw)
Feature or enhancement
What do you think about deprecating platform.java_ver? It is never used on CPython, it is a helper for Jython only, which is basically stuck on 2.7 for the last 10 years.
I think that we should deprecate and remove such compat parts with tools that no longer exist. In the future Jython can add its own implementation to its own stdlib, if ever.

| Values which cannot be determined are set to the defaults |
| given as parameters (which all default to ''). |

I propose to depreacate / remove it in 3.13 / 3.15
