ubelt.util_deprecate module¶
Currently this module provides one utility
ubelt.util_deprecate.schedule_deprecation()
which allows a developer to
easily mark features in their libraries as deprecated.
- ubelt.util_deprecate.schedule_deprecation(modname=None, name='?', type='?', migration='', deprecate=None, error=None, remove=None, warncls=<class 'DeprecationWarning'>, stacklevel=1)[source]¶
Deprecation machinery to help provide users with a smoother transition.
This function provides a concise way to mark a feature as deprecated by providing a description of the deprecated feature, documentation on how to migrate away from the deprecated feature, and the versions that the feature is scheduled for deprecation and eventual removal. Based on the version of the library and the specified schedule this function will either do nothing, emit a warning, or raise an error with helpful messages for both users and developers.
- Parameters:
modname (str | None) – The name of the underlying module associated with the feature to be deprecated. The module must already be imported and have a passable
__version__
attribute. If unspecified, version info cannot be used.name (str) – The name of the feature to deprecate. This is usually a function or argument name.
type (str) – A description of what the feature is. This is not a formal type, but rather a prose description: e.g. “argument to my_func”.
migration (str) – A description that lets users know what they should do instead of using the deprecated feature.
deprecate (str | None) – The version when the feature is officially deprecated and this function should start to emit a deprecation warning. Can also be the strings: “soon” or “now” if the timeline isnt perfectly defined.
error (str | None) – The version when the feature is officially no longer supported, and will start to raise a RuntimeError. Can also be the strings: “soon” or “now”.
remove (str | None) – The version when the feature is completely removed. An AssertionError will be raised if this function is still present reminding the developer to remove the feature (or extend the remove version). Can also be the strings: “soon” or “now”.
warncls (type) – This is the category of warning to use. Defaults to
DeprecationWarning
.stacklevel (int) – The stacklevel can be used by wrapper functions to indicate where the warning is occurring.
- Returns:
the constructed message
- Return type:
Note
If deprecate, remove, or error is specified as “now” or a truthy value it will force that check to trigger immediately. If the value is “soon”, then the check will not trigger.
Note
The
DeprecationWarning
is not visible by default. https://docs.python.org/3/library/warnings.htmlExample
>>> # xdoctest: +REQUIRES(module:packaging) >>> import ubelt as ub >>> import sys >>> import types >>> import pytest >>> dummy_module = sys.modules['dummy_module'] = types.ModuleType('dummy_module') >>> # When less than the deprecated version this does nothing >>> dummy_module.__version__ = '1.0.0' >>> ub.schedule_deprecation( ...

'dummy_module', 'myfunc', 'function', 'do something else', ... deprecate='1.1.0', error='1.2.0', remove='1.3.0') >>> print(msg) The "myfunc" function was deprecated in 1.1.0, will cause an error in 1.2.0 and will be removed in 1.3.0. The current version is 1.1.0. do something else
