- SyntaxError in Python 3.7 I think that SyntaxError could wait to 4.0. Another suggestion: we may want to turn this particular deprecation warning on by default in the interactive interpreter, and recommend that other interactive interpreter developers (such as the IPython folks) consider doing the same. Why not turn all deprecation warning on by default in the interactive interpreter?

In any given release how many of these would you see? I wouldn't mind seeing a few lines whenever I ran the II, but if the number started getting into tens or hundreds, at best I'd find it extremely irritating.
