Shorter property deprecation. #18688

anntzer · 2020-10-07T23:11:09Z

This lets us write deprecated properties with single-line lambdas, which
is quite a bit more compact (as shown by the line diff).

Is there a reason you didn't make a helper function (just a private guy) that is explicitly for properties? It looks like literally every instance you changed could have been

from .cbook import _deprecate_prop
...
prop = _deprecate_prop("3.X", lambda self: self.whatever())

instead of

from . import cbook
...
prop = cbook.deprecated("3.X", property(lambda: self.whatever()))

Forgot the property.

Lambdas are okay on a single line, but I'm not so sure I'm in favour of some of these changes to multi-line things.

anntzer · 2020-10-08T08:54:43Z

I don't think

foo = cbook.deprecated_property("x.y", lambda self: ...)

is really better (or worse) than

foo = cbook.deprecated("x.y", property(lambda self: ...))

I see this a bit like https://docs.python.org/3/library/abc.html#abc.abstractproperty, which was deprecated in favor of stacking abstractmethod on top of property.

I'm fine with reverting some of the multiline cases.

This is the only one that doesn't accomplish your goal IMO of making it "easier" to see the deprecated function as a block. If instead you did

Suggested change

fontweights = cbook.deprecated("3.3")(property(lambda self: {

100: cairo.FONT_WEIGHT_NORMAL,

200: cairo.FONT_WEIGHT_NORMAL,

300: cairo.FONT_WEIGHT_NORMAL,

400: cairo.FONT_WEIGHT_NORMAL,

500: cairo.FONT_WEIGHT_NORMAL,

600: cairo.FONT_WEIGHT_BOLD,

700: cairo.FONT_WEIGHT_BOLD,

800: cairo.FONT_WEIGHT_BOLD,

900: cairo.FONT_WEIGHT_BOLD,

'ultralight': cairo.FONT_WEIGHT_NORMAL,

'light': cairo.FONT_WEIGHT_NORMAL,

'normal': cairo.FONT_WEIGHT_NORMAL,

'medium': cairo.FONT_WEIGHT_NORMAL,

'regular': cairo.FONT_WEIGHT_NORMAL,

'semibold': cairo.FONT_WEIGHT_BOLD,

'bold': cairo.FONT_WEIGHT_BOLD,

'heavy': cairo.FONT_WEIGHT_BOLD,

'ultrabold': cairo.FONT_WEIGHT_BOLD,

'black': cairo.FONT_WEIGHT_BOLD,

}))

fontangles = cbook.deprecated("3.3")(property(lambda self: {

'italic': cairo.FONT_SLANT_ITALIC,

'normal': cairo.FONT_SLANT_NORMAL,

'oblique': cairo.FONT_SLANT_OBLIQUE,

}))

mathtext_parser = cbook.deprecated("3.4")(

property(lambda self: MathTextParser('Cairo')))

fontweights = cbook.deprecated("3.3")(property(lambda self: _fontweights))

fontangles = cbook.deprecated("3.3")(property(lambda self: _fontangles))

mathtext_parser = cbook.deprecated("3.4")(

property(lambda self: MathTextParser('Cairo')))

and added right above the class definition something like

# deprecated font property mappings for RendererCairo _fontweights = { 100: cairo.FONT_WEIGHT_NORMAL, 200: cairo.FONT_WEIGHT_NORMAL, 300: cairo.FONT_WEIGHT_NORMAL, 400: cairo.FONT_WEIGHT_NORMAL, 500: cairo.FONT_WEIGHT_NORMAL, 600: cairo.FONT_WEIGHT_BOLD, 700: cairo.FONT_WEIGHT_BOLD, 800: cairo.FONT_WEIGHT_BOLD, 900: cairo.FONT_WEIGHT_BOLD, 'ultralight': cairo.FONT_WEIGHT_NORMAL, 'light': cairo.FONT_WEIGHT_NORMAL, 'normal': cairo.FONT_WEIGHT_NORMAL, 'medium': cairo.FONT_WEIGHT_NORMAL, 'regular': cairo.FONT_WEIGHT_NORMAL, 'semibold': cairo.FONT_WEIGHT_BOLD, 'bold': cairo.FONT_WEIGHT_BOLD, 'heavy': cairo.FONT_WEIGHT_BOLD, 'ultrabold': cairo.FONT_WEIGHT_BOLD, 'black': cairo.FONT_WEIGHT_BOLD, } _fontangles = { 'italic': cairo.FONT_SLANT_ITALIC, 'normal': cairo.FONT_SLANT_NORMAL, 'oblique': cairo.FONT_SLANT_OBLIQUE, }

then I think you would accomplish your goal.

brunobeltran

My "feeling" is that I might have not even complained about the multiline stuff it it had also been moved to the top of the class, but leaving what looks like a class variable hiding between method definitions felt funny to me.

I agree especially that in places like texmanager this greatly reduces visual clutter.

I feel that just stashing all the deprecated properties into a single block with no blank lines in between makes it easier to ignore that block.

I'd approve if

the "block" was moved above __init__, where class variables are typically defined
fix the RendererCairo case to actually make this block easy to "see" as you're scrolling (see the one comment above)

I think in that case you wouldn't really have to revert any of the multi-line ones to make me happy, but in cases where you've just taken one method of a class and instead made it into a multi-line class variable definition, this might have just made this harder to understand quickly with no real benefit in terms of having things in a "block", since there's just one "thing".

anntzer · 2020-10-08T15:36:53Z

OK, I reverted the cases of single deprecations turning into multiline blocks.

brunobeltran

Not going to die on the "these should go above __init__ hill, since I can just open a separate PR to impose my opinions about this, and I will be wanting this lambda syntax for the deprecation-spree I'm about to go on.

So feel free to ignore, but I marked everywhere where they're not currently above __init__. I would say that there is one place left where you didn't put all the deprecations into a single block, which was your original purpose I think (TextBox in widgets.py).

anntzer · 2020-10-09T18:23:44Z

Moved all of them up, except for the case where I'm just removing the name parameter in widgets.py.

This and the line above used to return a fresh dict that the user could modify, this makes sure we do not start leaking mutable global state out.

This lets us write deprecated properties with single-line lambdas, which is quite a bit more compact (as shown by the line diff).

This used to be the wrong 'since' version, I guess?

yes (#18002)
