What¡¯s New?

To improve PEP-8 compliance a number of name changes are being made to methods and class attributes with each

release. There is a module, pyslet.pep8, which contains a compatibility class for remapping missing class attribute

names to their new forms and generating deprecation warnings, run your code with ¡°python -Wd¡± to force these

warnings to appear. As Pyslet makes the transition to Python 3 some of the old names may go away completely. The

warning messages explain any changes you need to make. Although backwards compatible, using the new names is

slightly faster as they don¡¯t go through the extra deprecation wrapper.

It is still possible that some previously documented names could now fail (module level functions, function arguments,

etc.) but I¡¯ve tried to include wrappers or aliases so please raise an issue on Github if you discover a bug caused by

the renaming. I¡¯ll restore any missing old-style names to improve backwards compatibility on request.

1.1 Version Numbering

Pyslet version numbers use the check-in date as their last component so you can always tell if one build is newer than

another. At the moment there is only one actively maintained branch of the code: version ¡®0¡±. Changes are reported

against the versions released to PyPi. The main version number increases with each PyPi release. Starting with version

0.7 changes are documented in order of build date to make it easier to see what is changing in the master branch on

GitHub.

Not sure which version you are using? Try:

from import version

print version
