this library, start adding some basic examples that
show the common usage patterns.

Examples
========
Moving a method
---------------
To move a *instance* method from an existing one to a new one
the :py:func:`~debtcollector.moves.moved_method` function/decorator can be
used to achieve this in a non-destructive manner.
A basic example to do just this:
.. doctest::
>>> from debtcollector import moves
>>> import warnings
>>> warnings.simplefilter('always')
>>> class Cat(object):
... @moves.moved_method('meow')
... def mewow(self):
... return self.meow()
... def meow(self):
... return 'kitty'
...
>>> c = Cat()
>>> c.mewow()
__main__:1: DeprecationWarning: Method 'Cat.mewow()' has moved to 'Cat.meow()'
'kitty'
>>> c.meow()
'kitty'
Moving a property
-----------------
To move a *instance* property from an existing one to a new one
the :py:func:`~debtcollector.moves.moved_property` function/decorator can be
used to achieve this in a non-destructive manner.
A basic example to do just this:
.. doctest::
>>> from debtcollector import moves
>>> import warnings
>>> warnings.simplefilter('always')
>>> class Dog(object):
... @property
... @moves.moved_property('bark')
... def burk(self):
... return self.bark
... @property
... def bark(self):
... return 'woof'
...
>>> d = Dog()
>>> d.burk
__main__:1: DeprecationWarning: Property 'Dog.burk' has moved to 'Dog.bark'
'woof'
>>> d.bark
'woof'
Moving a class
--------------
To move a *class* from an existing one to a new one
the :py:func:`~debtcollector.moves.moved_class` type generator function can
be used to achieve this in a non-destructive manner.
A basic example to do just this:
.. doctest::
>>> from debtcollector import moves
>>> import warnings
>>> warnings.simplefilter('always')
>>> class WizBang(object):
... pass
...
>>> OldWizBang = moves.moved_class(WizBang, 'OldWizBang', __name__)
>>> a = OldWizBang()
__main__:1: DeprecationWarning: Class '__main__.OldWizBang' has moved to '__main__.WizBang'
>>> b = WizBang()
Renaming a keyword argument
---------------------------
To notify the user when a keyword argument has been replaced with a new and
improved keyword argument and the user is still using the old keyword argument
the :py:func:`~debtcollector.renames.renamed_kwarg` function/decorator
can be used to achieve this in a non-destructive manner.
A basic example to do just this:
.. doctest::
>>> from debtcollector import renames
>>> import warnings
>>> warnings.simplefilter('always')
>>> @renames.renamed_kwarg('snizzle', 'nizzle')
... def do_the_deed(snizzle=True, nizzle=True):
... print(snizzle)
... print(nizzle)
...
>>> do_the_deed()
True
True
>>> do_the_deed(snizzle=False)
__main__:1: DeprecationWarning: Using the 'snizzle' argument is deprecated, please use the 'nizzle' argument instead
False
True
>>> do_the_deed(nizzle=False)
True
False
Further customizing the emitted messages
----------------------------------------
It is typically useful to tell the user when a deprecation has started and
when the deprecated item will be offically removed (deleted or other). To
enable this all the currently provided functions this library provides
take a ``message``, ``version`` and ``removal_version`` keyword arguments.
These are used in forming the message that is shown to the user when they
trigger the deprecated activity.
A basic example to do just this:
.. doctest::
>>> from debtcollector import renames
>>> import warnings
>>> warnings.simplefilter('always')
>>> @renames.renamed_kwarg('snizzle', 'nizzle', version="0.5", removal_version="0.7")
... def do_the_deed(snizzle=True, nizzle=True):
... pass
...
>>> do_the_deed(snizzle=False)
__main__:1: DeprecationWarning: Using the 'snizzle' argument is deprecated in version '0.5' and will be removed in version '0.7', please use the 'nizzle' argument instead
If the ``removal_version`` is unknown the special character ``?`` can be used
instead (to denote that the deprecated activity will be removed sometime in
the future).
A basic example to do just this:
.. doctest::
>>> from debtcollector import renames
>>> import warnings
>>> warnings.simplefilter('always')
>>> @renames.renamed_kwarg('snizzle', 'nizzle', version="0.5", removal_version="?")
... def do_the_deed(snizzle=True, nizzle=True):
... pass
...
>>> do_the_deed(snizzle=False)
__main__:1: DeprecationWarning: Using the 'snizzle' argument is deprecated in version '0.5' and will be removed in a future version, please use the 'nizzle' argument instead
To further customize the message (with a special postfix) the ``message``
keyword argument can be provided.
A basic example to do just this:
.. doctest::
>>> from debtcollector import renames
>>> import warnings
>>> warnings.simplefilter('always')
>>> @renames.renamed_kwarg('snizzle', 'nizzle', message="Pretty please stop using it")
... def do_the_deed(snizzle=True, nizzle=True):
... pass
...
>>> do_the_deed(snizzle=False)
__main__:1: DeprecationWarning: Using the 'snizzle' argument is deprecated, please use the 'nizzle' argument instead: Pretty please stop using it
