twisted.python.deprecate

module documentation

(source)

Deprecation framework for Twisted.

To mark a method, function, or class as being deprecated do this:

    from incremental import Version
    from twisted.python.deprecate import deprecated

    @deprecated(Version("Twisted", 8, 0, 0))
    def badAPI(self, first, second):
        '''
        Docstring for badAPI.
        '''
        ...

    @deprecated(Version("Twisted", 16, 0, 0))
    class BadClass:
        '''
        Docstring for BadClass.
        '''

The newly-decorated badAPI will issue a warning when called, and BadClass will issue a warning when instantiated. Both will also have a deprecation notice appended to their docstring.

To deprecate properties you can use:

    from incremental import Version
    from twisted.python.deprecate import deprecatedProperty

    class OtherwiseUndeprecatedClass:

        @deprecatedProperty(Version('Twisted', 16, 0, 0))
        def badProperty(self):
            '''
            Docstring for badProperty.
            '''

        @badProperty.setter
        def badProperty(self, value):
            '''
            Setter sill also raise the deprecation warning.
            '''

To mark module-level attributes as being deprecated you can use:

    badAttribute = "someValue"

    ...

    deprecatedModuleAttribute(
        Version("Twisted", 8, 0, 0),
        "Use goodAttribute instead.",
        "your.full.module.name",
        "badAttribute")

The deprecated attributes will issue a warning whenever they are accessed. If the attributes being deprecated are in the same module as the deprecatedModuleAttribute call is being made from, the __name__ global can be used as the moduleName parameter.

To mark an optional, keyword parameter of a function or method as deprecated without deprecating the function itself, you can use:

    @deprecatedKeywordParameter(Version("Twisted", 19, 2, 0), 'baz')
    def someFunction(foo, bar=0, baz=None):
        ...

See also incremental.Version.

def deprecated(version, replacement=None): (source)

Return a decorator that marks callables as deprecated. To deprecate a property, see deprecatedProperty.

Parameters
version:`incremental.Version`	The version in which the callable will be marked as having been deprecated. The decorated function will be annotated with this version, having it set as its `deprecatedVersion` attribute.
replacement:`str` or callable	what should be used in place of the callable. Either pass in a string, which will be inserted into the warning message, or a callable, which will be expanded to its full import path.

def deprecatedKeywordParameter(version, name, replacement=None): (source)

Return a decorator that marks a keyword parameter of a callable as deprecated. A warning will be emitted if a caller supplies a value for the parameter, whether the caller uses a keyword or positional syntax.

Parameters
version:`incremental.Version`	The version in which the parameter will be marked as having been deprecated.
name:`str`	The name of the deprecated parameter.
replacement:`str`	Optional text indicating what should be used in place of the deprecated parameter.
Returns
`Callable[[_Tc], _Tc]`	Undocumented
Present Since
Twisted 21.2.0

def deprecatedModuleAttribute(version, message, moduleName, name): (source)

Declare a module-level attribute as being deprecated.

Parameters
version:`incremental.Version`	Version that the attribute was deprecated in
message:`str`	Deprecation message
moduleName:`str`	Fully-qualified Python name of the module containing the deprecated attribute; if called from the same module as the attributes are being deprecated in, using the `__name__` global can be helpful
name:`str`	Attribute name to deprecate

def deprecatedProperty(version, replacement=None): (source)

Return a decorator that marks a property as deprecated. To deprecate a regular callable or class, see deprecated.

Parameters
version:`incremental.Version`	The version in which the callable will be marked as having been deprecated. The decorated function will be annotated with this version, having it set as its `deprecatedVersion` attribute.
replacement:`str` or callable	what should be used in place of the callable. Either pass in a string, which will be inserted into the warning message, or a callable, which will be expanded to its full import path.
Returns
`property`	A new property with deprecated setter and getter.
Present Since
16.1.0

def getDeprecationWarningString(callableThing, version, format=None, replacement=None): (source)

Return a string indicating that the callable was deprecated in the given version.

Parameters
callableThing:`callable`	Callable object to be deprecated
version:`incremental.Version`	Version that `callableThing` was deprecated in.
format:`str`	A user-provided format to interpolate warning values into, or `DEPRECATION_WARNING_FORMAT` if `None` is given
replacement:`str` or callable	what should be used in place of the callable. Either pass in a string, which will be inserted into the warning message, or a callable, which will be expanded to its full import path.
Returns
`str`	A string describing the deprecation.

def getWarningMethod(): (source)

Return the warning method currently used to record deprecation warnings.

def setWarningMethod(newMethod): (source)

Set the warning method to use to record deprecation warnings.

The callable should take message, category and stacklevel. The return value is ignored.

def warnAboutFunction(offender, warningString): (source)

Issue a warning string, identifying offender as the responsible code.

This function is used to deprecate some behavior of a function. It differs from warnings.warn in that it is not limited to deprecating the behavior of a function currently on the call stack.

Parameters
offender	The function that is being deprecated.
warningString:`str`	The string that should be emitted by this warning.
Present Since
11.0

def _appendToDocstring(thingWithDoc, textToAppend): (source)

Append the given text to the docstring of thingWithDoc.

If thingWithDoc has no docstring, then the text just replaces the docstring. If it has a single-line docstring then it appends a blank line and the message text. If it has a multi-line docstring, then in appends a blank line a the message text, and also does the indentation correctly.

def _deprecateAttribute(proxy, name, version, message): (source)
