Arrrrgh! Another module broken

[Jive Dadson]

I just found another module that broke when I went to 2.6. Gnuplot.
Apparently one of its routines has a parameter named "with." That used
to be okay, and now it's not.

Once I get everything to work under 2.6, I am using it forever or until
new releases no longer break working code, whichever comes first.

The latter ain't gonna happen. Going 2.x --> 3.x *will* break code,
and no future 3.x version will change that fact.

This was fixed in version 1.8 of Gnuplot.py

Hey, good luck with that forever plan.

Yeah, I know. I'm just glad I don't have to get new executables and
dll's from all my software vendors every Tuesday when the MS Window XP
updates come out.

2.6 FOREVER!

Thanks. I also had to install a new version of numpy. Have I kvetched
enough about have to track down new versions of all my third party stuff
every time I up-rev Python? I guess so.

2.6 FOREVER!

I have source code that uses the "with" kwarg. What do I replace it with?

Rename the argument to something else that's not a Python keyword.
When keyword conflicts occur, appending an underscore (i.e. with_) is
a popular option, as is using a nonstandard spelling (e.g. wif)

Good old fashioned open() and close()

I found the answer. The new kwarg in Gnuplot is "with_".

I remember seeing depreicated warnings about that _years_ ago,
and I would have sworn it's been fixed for at least a couple
years.

FWIW, "with" deprecation warnings exist since September 19, 2006 when
Python 2.5 was released.
