Members of Gentoo Python Project have agreed to deprecate the following functions |
2 |
in EAPI <=2: |
3 |
- python_version() |
4 |
- python_mod_exists() |
5 |
- python_tkinter_exists() |
6 |
- distutils_python_version() |
7 |
- distutils_python_tkinter() |
8 |
|

These functions are already banned in EAPI >=3. |

1. In this week, these functions will start printing deprecation warnings in older EAPIs. |
12 |
2. On 2010-07-01, these functions will start calling die(). |
13 |
(If any ebuilds in gentoo-x86 still call any of these functions on 2010-07-01, |
14 |
then addition of calls to die() will be delayed.) |
15 |
3. On 2011-01-01, these functions will be removed. |
16 |
|
17 |
I will also send the announcement to gentoo-dev-announce mailing list to ensure |
18 |
that developers not subscribed to gentoo-dev mailing list will notice the deprecation. |
19 |
The attached patch shows text of deprecation warnings. |
