Package xoutil
¶
Transition to a new namespace¶
Since version 2.1, we’re transitioning to another name: xotl.tools
. This
is to align xoutil
as a fundamental part of our family of projects under
the xotl
namespace. Xotl is a Nahuatl word which may stand for
‘foundation’. xoutil
is part of the foundation of many of our projects.
Backwards compatible imports¶
Since 2.1, every module importable from xoutil
is actually under the
namespace xotl.tools
; so importing, for instance, from
xoutil.future.datetime
should be updated to
xotl.tools.future.datetime
.
Importing from xoutil
will still be possible in all versions before 3.0.
You won’t have to change all your imports right away.
Distribution of xoutil
¶
Will continue to distribute both xotl.tools and xoutil (with the same codebase) for the entire 2.1.x series. From
version 2.2.0+ will distruibute only xotl.tools
, but keep the backwards
import up to 3.0.
Warning
Don’t depend on both xoutil
and xotl.tools
. We use the
same codebase for both distributions; which means you’ll get the same code,
but if you install different versions you may get a crippled system.
