Python @deprecated decorator to deprecate old python classes, functions or methods.
Project description
Deprecated is Easy to Use
If you need to mark a function or a method as deprecated, you can use the @deprecated decorator:
Save in a hello.py:
from deprecated import deprecated
@deprecated(version='1.2.1', reason="You should use another function")
def some_old_function(x, y):
return x + y
class SomeClass(object):
@deprecated(version='1.3.0', reason="This method is deprecated")
def some_old_method(self, x, y):
return x + y
some_old_function(12, 34)
obj = SomeClass()
obj.some_old_method(5, 8)And Easy to Setup
And run it:
$ pip install Deprecated
$ python hello.py
hello.py:15: DeprecationWarning: Call to deprecated function (or staticmethod) some_old_function.
(You should use another function) -- Deprecated since version 1.2.0.
some_old_function(12, 34)
hello.py:17: DeprecationWarning: Call to deprecated method some_old_method.
(This method is deprecated) -- Deprecated since version 1.3.0.
obj.some_old_method(5, 8)You can document your code
Have you ever wonder how to document that some functions, classes, methods, etc. are deprecated? This is now possible with the integrated Sphinx directives:
For instance, in hello_sphinx.py:
from deprecated.sphinx import deprecated
from deprecated.sphinx import versionadded
from deprecated.sphinx import versionchanged
@versionadded(version='1.0', reason="This function is new")
def function_one():
'''This is the function one'''
@versionchanged(version='1.0', reason="This function is modified")
def function_two():
'''This is the function two'''
@deprecated(version='1.0', reason="This function will be removed soon")
def function_three():
'''This is the function three'''
function_one()
function_two()
function_three() # warns
help(function_one)
help(function_two)
help(function_three)The result it immediate
Run it:
$ python hello_sphinx.py
hello_sphinx.py:23: DeprecationWarning: Call to deprecated function (or staticmethod) function_three.
(This function will be removed soon) -- Deprecated since version 1.0.
function_three() # warns
Help on function function_one in module __main__:
function_one()
This is the function one
.. versionadded:: 1.0
This function is new
Help on function function_two in module __main__:
function_two()
This is the function two
.. versionchanged:: 1.0
This function is modified
Help on function function_three in module __main__:
function_three()
This is the function three
.. deprecated:: 1.0
This function will be removed soon
