Message 253500 - Python tracker (original) (raw)

The thing is, we've adopted a policy that if something exists in python2.7 we shouldn't delete it in python3 until after 2.7 is officially out of maintenance (at the earliest), in order to facilitate single-source porting to python3. That policy was adopted relatively recently, after the deprecation warning mentioning 3.6 was added in this issue, as I recall it.

In this case we better resurrect getargspec(). Here's an issue for that: #25486
