mfalesni / python-deprecate Goto Github PK

Hey.
Would you be willing to change the licensing on this library to BSD or MIT?
I think there is a place for a good deprecation library in Python, and so I'd like to contribute to this and add some more functionality.
However, if it is GPL licensed, it can't be used in any of the projects I'm working on (in the scipy / scikit space).

Related, I would like to add the following features:

• removing a function
• removing a class
• removing an attribute
• removing a method
• renaming a parameter
• changing the default value of a parameter
• changing a parameter option ("behavior X was called x, now it's called y").
• renaming a function
• renaming a class
• renaming a method
• renaming an attribute
• moving a class
• moving a function
• moving a module
• having deprecation version and removal version in all deprecations
  [I'm probably forgetting some]

projects like django use distinct types for each roll of deprecation
its highly helpful to have that part of the type

it also allows use-cases where the release that removes the functionality
is in reality simply turning the warnings into errors so they can be scheduled for complete removal in the next release

• it should be possible to turn warnings into error for tests
• it should be possible to configure the severity of the warnings (something that gets dropped in the next release should make more noise)

a deprecation shim is a function that is in place of the old function delegating its functionality to new code
those should be able to warn about the migration, and the migration_path

whole modules that have been removed need a delegate that warns about their move
