deprecation#

Decorators for deprecating classes, functions and function parameters.

Functions

deprecated(func=None, since=None, until=None, replacement=None, message='')[source]#

Decorator to mark a callable as deprecated.

The decorated callable will cause a warning when used. The docstring of the deprecated callable is adjusted to indicate that this callable is deprecated.

Parameters

  • func (Callable) – The function to be decorated. Should not be set by the user.

  • since (str | None) – The version or date since deprecation.

  • until (str | None) – The version or date until removal of the deprecated callable.

  • replacement (str | None) – The identifier of the callable replacing the deprecated one.

  • message (str | None) – The reason for why the callable has been deprecated.

Returns

The decorated callable.

Return type

Callable

Examples

Basic usage:

from manim.utils.deprecation import deprecated

@deprecated
def foo(**kwargs):
    pass

@deprecated
class Bar:
    def __init__(self):
        pass

    @deprecated
    def baz(self):
        pass

foo()
# WARNING  The function foo has been deprecated and may be removed in a later version.

a = Bar()
# WARNING  The class Bar has been deprecated and may be removed in a later version.

a.baz()
# WARNING  The method Bar.baz has been deprecated and may be removed in a later version.

You can specify additional information for a more precise warning:

from manim.utils.deprecation import deprecated

@deprecated(
    since="v0.2",
    until="v0.4",
    replacement="bar",
    message="It is cooler."
)
def foo():
    pass

foo()
# WARNING  The function foo has been deprecated since v0.2 and is expected to be removed after v0.4. Use bar instead. It is cooler.

You may also use dates instead of versions:

from manim.utils.deprecation import deprecated

@deprecated(since="05/01/2021", until="06/01/2021")
def foo():
    pass

foo()
# WARNING  The function foo has been deprecated since 05/01/2021 and is expected to be removed after 06/01/2021.
deprecated_params(params=None, since=None, until=None, message='', redirections=None)[source]#

Decorator to mark parameters of a callable as deprecated.

It can also be used to automatically redirect deprecated parameter values to their replacements.

Parameters

  • params (str | Iterable[str] | None) –

    The parameters to be deprecated. Can consist of:

    • An iterable of strings, with each element representing a parameter to deprecate

    • A single string, with parameter names separated by commas or spaces.

  • since (str | None) – The version or date since deprecation.

  • until (str | None) – The version or date until removal of the deprecated callable.

  • message (str | None) – The reason for why the callable has been deprecated.

  • redirections (None | Iterable[tuple[str, str] | Callable[..., dict[str, Any]]]) –

    A list of parameter redirections. Each redirection can be one of the following:

    • A tuple of two strings. The first string defines the name of the deprecated parameter; the second string defines the name of the parameter to redirect to, when attempting to use the first string.

    • A function performing the mapping operation. The parameter names of the function determine which parameters are used as input. The function must return a dictionary which contains the redirected arguments.

    Redirected parameters are also implicitly deprecated.

Returns

The decorated callable.

Return type

Callable

Raises

  • ValueError – If no parameters are defined (neither explicitly nor implicitly).

  • ValueError – If defined parameters are invalid python identifiers.

Examples

Basic usage:

from manim.utils.deprecation import deprecated_params

@deprecated_params(params="a, b, c")
def foo(**kwargs):
    pass

foo(x=2, y=3, z=4)
# No warning

foo(a=2, b=3, z=4)
# WARNING  The parameters a and b of method foo have been deprecated and may be removed in a later version.

You can also specify additional information for a more precise warning:

from manim.utils.deprecation import deprecated_params

@deprecated_params(
    params="a, b, c",
    since="v0.2",
    until="v0.4",
    message="The letters x, y, z are cooler."
)
def foo(**kwargs):
    pass

foo(a=2)
# WARNING  The parameter a of method foo has been deprecated since v0.2 and is expected to be removed after v0.4. The letters x, y, z are cooler.

Basic parameter redirection:

from manim.utils.deprecation import deprecated_params

@deprecated_params(redirections=[
    # Two ways to redirect one parameter to another:
    ("old_param", "new_param"),
    lambda old_param2: {"new_param22": old_param2}
])
def foo(**kwargs):
    return kwargs

foo(x=1, old_param=2)
# WARNING  The parameter old_param of method foo has been deprecated and may be removed in a later version.
# returns {"x": 1, "new_param": 2}

Redirecting using a calculated value:

from manim.utils.deprecation import deprecated_params

@deprecated_params(redirections=[
    lambda runtime_in_ms: {"run_time": runtime_in_ms / 1000}
])
def foo(**kwargs):
    return kwargs

foo(runtime_in_ms=500)
# WARNING  The parameter runtime_in_ms of method foo has been deprecated and may be removed in a later version.
# returns {"run_time": 0.5}

Redirecting multiple parameter values to one:

from manim.utils.deprecation import deprecated_params

@deprecated_params(redirections=[
    lambda buff_x=1, buff_y=1: {"buff": (buff_x, buff_y)}
])
def foo(**kwargs):
    return kwargs

foo(buff_x=2)
# WARNING  The parameter buff_x of method foo has been deprecated and may be removed in a later version.
# returns {"buff": (2, 1)}

Redirect one parameter to multiple:

from manim.utils.deprecation import deprecated_params

@deprecated_params(redirections=[
    lambda buff=1: {"buff_x": buff[0], "buff_y": buff[1]} if isinstance(buff, tuple)
            else {"buff_x": buff,    "buff_y": buff}
])
def foo(**kwargs):
    return kwargs

foo(buff=0)
# WARNING  The parameter buff of method foo has been deprecated and may be removed in a later version.
# returns {"buff_x": 0, buff_y: 0}

foo(buff=(1,2))
# WARNING  The parameter buff of method foo has been deprecated and may be removed in a later version.
# returns {"buff_x": 1, buff_y: 2}
