I would express all of the concerns being expressed here were debated ad nauseam over the three year political process of getting this proposal accepted. If you want to vent your fears and frustrations in a hopefully more productive way, you can get involved in Python's process.
All that is to say, I'm thankful that the Python community gets things done, and people are willing to go through three year processes for changes such as this.
- williamsmj 5y agoAgreed. I also want to highlight these packages will be part of the stdlib for python 3.12, which will EOL in October 2028. In other words, if this change will affect you then you have up to 6.5 years to figure out and implement a plan.
- oblvious-earth 5y agoI am happy that people like Brett Cannon are in the Python Core Dev team getting things moving along. For reference here is the first discussions: https://discuss.python.org/t/pep-594-removing-dead-batteries-from-the-standard-library/1704 https://discuss.python.org/t/pep-594-removing-dead-batteries... and https://mail.python.org/archives/list/python-dev@python.org/thread/NRSGCZKKICMR5DAF454I7CV3NWHGMU2Q/#KURMNB3JJDPI6DKLWOQ3HSW3PGUT7N3T https://mail.python.org/archives/list/python-dev@python.org/... And nearly 3 years later here is the second discussion: https://discuss.python.org/t/pep-594-take-2-removing-dead-batteries-from-the-standard-library/13508 https://discuss.python.org/t/pep-594-take-2-removing-dead-ba... I thought that feedback from the first discussion was carefully considered and I'm pretty happy with take 2. I have used the some of the modules being removed but largely agree now they are either legacy or there are significantly better third party options.
