Instead of manually crafting deprecation warnings for each alias, you use deprecation-alias to declare that an old name is an alias for a new one, and it handles emitting the appropriate warning when the old name is used.\n\nThe package is designed for library maintainers who need to support legacy function or class names while guiding users toward the current API. It depends on deprecation and packaging, both common and stable libraries, and supports Python 3.6 through 3.12 on CPython and PyPy. The codebase is actively maintained and carries no known security vulnerabilities.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you maintain a library and need to deprecate old function or class names gracefully. The package is lightweight, actively maintained, permissively licensed, and has no security issues. Install it when backward compatibility and clear migration paths matter for your users."},"id":"deprecation-alias","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/deprecation-alias","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/deprecation-alias.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/deprecation-alias/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2025-02-11","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"deprecation-alias","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"A wrapper around 'deprecation' providing support for deprecated aliases."},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":762172,"position":5127,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.4.0"}
