Message 207389 - Python tracker
I'll switch it to a deprecation warning instead sometime this week. The changes to datamodel.rst and tarfile.py should stay, I think. test_format and test_unicode will both verify current* behavior and check for the deprecation warning, and unicodeobject.c will generate the warning but keep current behavior. Once 3.5 is tagged I'll put the updates to these three files there. * By 'current' I mean accepting non-ints.
