The main advantage is that deprecation wornings wouldn't start appearing after the installation of a new release. The only advantage I see for it is the silence. Obviously it would eventually mean that programs died a sudden death due to feature loss. The warnings would appear if the code were maintained, however. regards ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Steve Holden http://www.holdenweb.com/ Python Web Programming http://pydish.holdenweb.com/pwp/ -----------------------------------------------------------------------
