I have created http://bugs.python.org/**issue18716<http://bugs.python.org/issue18716>to deprecate the formatter module for removal in Python 3.6 unless someone convinces me otherwise that deprecation and removal is the wrong move.

The formatter module doesn't look such buggy as the audioop module. If the formatter module was not removed in Python 3.0 I don't see why it can't wait to 4.0.

It doesn't help that at PyCon CA we couldn't find a single person who had heard of the module (which included people like Alex Gaynor and Larry Hastings).

I'm definitely deprecating it, but we can discuss postponing deletion. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL: <http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/attachments/20130813/548c7077/attachment.html>
