devstatusdecos 1.0.0.0

Decorators, warnings, and exceptions for explicitly marking the development status of Python objects

devstatusdecos

Decorators, warnings, and exceptions for explicitly marking the development status of Python objects.

This module provides structured, runtime-enforced annotations for things like deprecation, experimental APIs, insecure code paths, and unfinished implementations.

Documentation

Features

• Imports (and requires access to) the deprecated decorator from either typing_extensions or warnings. typing_extensions is requires for python < 3.13.3.
• pending_deprecation, which raises the builtin PendingDeprecationWarning with optional the option of automatic escalation to deprecated status based on python version.
• experimental, analogous to deprecated, raises a ExperimentalWarning warning when called.
• todo, analogous to deprecated, raises a ExperimentalWarning warning when called, optionally raising a TodoError in a wrapped callable.
• insecure, which always raises a InsecureError or FatallyInsecureError, optionally exiting.

Installation

pip install devstatusdecos

Example

from devstatusdecos import experimental, todo, insecure

@experimental("API may change")
def new_feature():
   ...

@todo("Implement edge case handling")
class Incomplete():
   def __init__(self):
      ...

@insecure("Uses unsafe cryptography", fatal=True)
def bad_idea():
   ...
