Python 3.12.0 is to remove long-deprecated items

• pyenv

  260 36,496 8.9 Roff

  Simple Python version management

  

A hidden gem in pyenv is its 'python-build' plugin, which just lets you build and install any Python version:

  git clone https://github.com/pyenv/pyenv.git

• WikidPad

• WorkOS

• CPython

  1,310 59,431 10.0 Python

  The Python programming language

  

I would expect them to move telnetlib to a separate, unsupported repo that you can then import.

Even if they don’t, from a cursory view, it seems it’s a pure python library (https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/main/Lib/telnetlib.py).

If so, can’t you copy the current code into your project? You would take on the burden of supporting it, but looking at https://github.com/python/cpython/commits/main/Lib/telnetlib..., that doesn’t seem to be much of a burden.

• pyenv-win

  pyenv for Windows. pyenv is a simple python version management tool. It lets you easily switch between multiple versions of Python. It's simple, unobtrusive, and follows the UNIX tradition of single-purpose tools that do one thing well.

  

• teyit

  2 99 0.0 Python

  Formatter for your Python unit tests

> Removed many old deprecated unittest features ...

> You can use https://github.com/isidentical/teyit to automatically modernise your unit tests.

I tried out teyit when it was a "Show HN" 10 months ago (at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29948813 ).

It not only pointed out places where I was using a deprecated alias, but also fixed a few places where I was using the API poorly (using "assertTrue(a binop b)" instead of "assertBinOp(a, b)".

I recommend it.

• void-packages

  671 2,372 10.0 Shell

  The Void source packages collection

  

The largely-unmaintained Python 3 port of syncthing-gtk already failed to start on Python 3.11 since it removed obsolete methods like bind_textdomain_codeset(): https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/issues/40430

Though this project isn't exactly in the best shape, having prior bugs: https://salsa.debian.org/debian/syncthing-gtk/-/issues/2

• xstream

  2 735 4.8 Java

  Serialize Java objects to XML and back again.

  

I hope we don't end up with the same things as the java world. JDK9 removed and moved to a library a few things like JAXB. Since JDK11, every new version is harsher for programs that use reflection to mess with non-published internals. Both are good changes, BTW.

In theory, you add a few libs and you're ready to upgrade. In practice, adding libs at scale is hard, and quite a few dependencies of dependencies of ... are using reflection to mess with internals.

As a result, there are still a lot of enterprise applications on JDK8 and JDK11, even if the security impact of this is bad and the fix should be easy.

For a typical example: see https://github.com/x-stream/xstream/issues/101
