[Python-Dev] How best to handle the docs for a renamed module? (original) (raw)

For the sake of argument, let's consider the Queue module. It is now named queue. For 2.6 I plan on having both Queue and queue listed in the index, with Queue deprecated with instructions to use the new name.

But what to do about all the references. Should we leave them pointing at Queue to lessen confusion for people who read about some module on some other site that isn't using the new name, or update everything in 2.6 to use the new name?
