From df75fee9a35c2ac33e94744216e0a49e8aa0bae4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: R David Murray Date: Fri, 3 Oct 2014 13:02:47 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] #22508: Drop email __version__ string. It no longer means anything. A debian code search (by Tshepang Lekhonkhobe) turned up only one package checking email.__version__...and it was the 2.7-only mailman package. Since Barry approves this change, it seems safe enough to make it... --- Doc/whatsnew/3.5.rst | 8 ++++++++ Lib/email/__init__.py | 2 -- Misc/NEWS | 4 ++++ 3 files changed, 12 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/Doc/whatsnew/3.5.rst b/Doc/whatsnew/3.5.rst index 7fb0fd59267..3e44aa242df 100644 --- a/Doc/whatsnew/3.5.rst +++ b/Doc/whatsnew/3.5.rst @@ -355,6 +355,14 @@ Deprecated features * None yet. +Removed +======= + +* The ``__version__`` attribute has been dropped from the email package.
