I just closed the release blocker I created (the backwards-compatibility issue with warnings.showwarning() ). I would like to add a PendingDeprecationWarning (or stronger) to 2.6 for showwarning() implementations that don't support the optional 'line' argument. I guess the best way to do it in C code would be to see if PyFunctionGetDefaults() returns a tuple of length two (since showwarning() already has a single optional argument as it is). Anyone have an issue with me doing this? Is PendingDeprecationWarning safe enough for 2.6? Or should this be a 3.0-only thing with a DeprecationWarning?

I vote for a full DeprecationWarning.
