That's a reasonable idea... a Big Obnoxious Warning(tm) when it's enabled, or on first use, would achieve a lot of the same purpose. E.g. if thisisthefirstarrayfunctionusage(): sys.stderr.write( "WARNING: this program uses NumPy's experimental 'arrayfunction' feature.\n" "It may change or be removed without warning, which might break this program.\n" "For details see http://www.numpy.org/neps/nep-0018-array-function-protocol.html\n" ) -n I was thinking of a FutureWarning... That's essentially what it's for. Writing to stderr looks un-pythonic to me.
