[Python-Dev] Py3k DeprecationWarning in stdlib

[Guido van Rossum]

The same generic warning against sweeping changes applies here though.
You have to manually review each change. The stdlib and especially the
test suite is likely to break if you just let 2to3 run over it, even
just a single fixer like fix_has_key.
