Bug ID: 70970 Summary: use DeprecationWarning system Product: Pywikibot Version: core (2.0) Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: Unprioritized Component: General Assignee: Pywikipedia-bugs@lists.wikimedia.org Reporter: jayvdb@gmail.com Web browser: --- Mobile Platform: ---
pywikibot includes a lot of deprecation methods and parameters to support old code. The deprecation messages are logged using the normal python logging system, but are not routed through warnings.DeprecationWarning, which allows command line control over whether they are displayed (and defaults to not being displayed)
