Is some other state then deprecated needed to describe functions and/or methods deprecated, but not whole modules? It just seems wrong, this all or nothing state. Steven

It's not. http://docs.python.org/library/string.html """The string module contains a number of useful constants and classes, as well as some deprecated legacy functions that are also available as methods on strings.""" Maybe it's deprecated in pylint-land, but the docs appear to disagree. And I'd say it's clear whose authority is higher. Thomas > > It just seems wrong, this all or nothing state. > > Steven
