[Python-Dev] pep8ity __future__

Hi,

That's just a flaming-sword thread but I want to mention it nonetheless :-)

Basically I propose getting rid of __future__._Feature.getMandatoryRelease()
in favour of __future__._Feature.mandatory.  That's backwards compatibile
and much more pythonic.  Getters/Setters are considered unpythonic and the
getting rid of all that Java-like naming sounds like a good idea to me :)

If threading/processing gets a pep8ified API with 2.6, why not __future__?

Proposed patch: http://paste.pocoo.org/show/64512/


Regards,
Armin
