Hi Robert (and Nathann),
I won't have time to do the fix Nathann C. recommended in
http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/ticket/6522 (which isn't so much a
fix as using new functionality) for changing the copy to __copy__ in
graphs until at least Thursday. But presumably it would be good to
merge this now so that no one has to do it after the c_graph switch.
Could you (or Nathann) do the not very difficult fix of using the
functionality at
http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/ticket/7515 to
define the deprecations? I would be happy to review it - with my
current work setup, it is MUCH easier for me to review tickets than to
make changes in patches.
Alternately, Nathann could simply allow the patch to go through after
all, though that does make
http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/ticket/7559
harder, it is true.
Thanks for considering it,
- kcrisman
