Agreed. Also this:
"So expect Python 4 to not do anything more drastic than to remove maybe deprecated modules from the standard library."
But why break all the existing libraries that use those modules, even if there's now "better" ways. In every comparison I've ever seen on performance, robustness, etc python always loses to the other big languages. Except in one area: the availability of user-land submitted packages and extensions. So why break them for a little perf boost?
- PythonicAlpha 11y agoSounds really a bit weird to me. I hope, that they really think hard, which modules really must be removed. I would only consider security reasons to really remove a library module. Or at least mark it deprecated for a long while until it is used only really rarely.
