Take for example my recent mistake with the removal of
bzrlib.commands.shlex_split_unicode in bzr.dev when I implemented the
bzrlib.cmdline module. How would you suggest I should have deprecated
that function?
I know how to do it in Java: add "@deprecated blah blah use this other
method instead" in the Javadoc. But I don't actually know if there is a
proper way of doing it in Python / bzrlib.
Ciao,
Gordon
