Well, you hope wrong. ;-) Argue with the Timbot. Actually, I think the issue of whether to deprecate whrandom is a good concrete point to wrap the stability discussion around. On the one hand, it *is* a no-longer maintained module that has been superseded by another. random.py was certainly available as far back as 1.5.2 (just triple-checked), and Tim at least was constantly pushing people to use random instead of whrandom. OTOH, I was one of the people who used whrandom back then because it was simpler than random (don't remember why ;-). If I were distributing code, I can see being upset that whrandom were being deleted. My suggestion is that whrandom get a warning in 2.3 and 2.4, then deleted in the following version. Note to Tim: you haven't followed PEP 4, so you can't really say that whrandom is deprecated yet. -- Aahz (aahz@pythoncraft.com) <*> http://www.pythoncraft.com/ "There are times when effort is important and necessary, but this should not be taken as any kind of moral imperative." --jdecker
