[Python-Dev] Modules of plat-* directories (original) (raw)

-1. If they were broken, and somebody used them, a bug would be reported. That no bug is being reported means that they either work fine, or nobody uses them.

In the former case, removing them will break somebody's code. In the latter case, nothing is gained by either keeping or removing them. So why remove them?

Not worrying whether we should maintain these files or not would be a reason. Not worrying whether we should document them (or provide a better way to access these facilities) is another.

Given the messages on the bug tracker issue, it seems that (almost) nobody uses them and they are buggy ;)

Regards

Antoine.
