Implementation of my proposed PEP 387 "Soft Deprecation" policy: python/peps#3182

  • Add SoftDeprecationWarning warning category
  • Ignore these warnings by default, except in the __main__ module (similar to PEP 565: Show DeprecationWarning in main)

As an example, I propose to soft deprecate the getopt module: PR #105735 (currently, the PR uses a regular "hard" deprecation).

    This seems like a new feature. Is there any discussion that you can link to? Such as about the PEP?

    Yes, see the first link in the issue :-)

    Also, @hugovk gave the link to the discussion.

    The idea of issuing a warning for soft deprecations is not liked, so I abandon my idea: https://discuss.python.org/t/formalize-the-concept-of-soft-deprecation-dont-schedule-removal-in-pep-387-backwards-compatibility-policy/27957
