[New-bugs-announce] [issue3171] operator.*slice() should be deprecated in 2.6

[Stefan Behnel]

New submission from Stefan Behnel <scoder at users.sourceforge.net>:

operator.delslice() and friends were removed in Python 3.0, as the
underlying object methods no longer exist. In the same way that the
slicing special methods were deprecated in favour of the item methods
should the functions in the operator module be deprecated (or at least
receive a warning that they will disappear in future interpreter versions).
