Python @deprecated decorator to deprecate old python classes, functions or methods.

Installation

pip install Deprecated

Usage

To use this, decorate your deprecated function with @deprecated decorator:

from deprecated import deprecated
@deprecated
def some_old_function(x, y):
    return x + y

You can also decorate a class or a method:

from deprecated import deprecated
class SomeClass(object):
    @deprecated
    def some_old_method(self, x, y):
        return x + y
@deprecated
class SomeOldClass(object):
    pass

You can give a "reason" message to help the developer to choose another function/class:

from deprecated import deprecated
@deprecated(reason="use another function")
def some_old_function(x, y):
    return x + y
