django.utils.copycompat is deprecated

[tino]

Hello,

I am getting the following in apache error log.

[error] /home/findme/virtualenv/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django/utils/copycompat.py:10: DeprecationWarning: django.utils.copycompat is deprecated; use the native copy module instead

Is this something to worry about?

Regards

Tino

Well, it's only an issue if you're expecting your code to keep running into the future :-)

It will become an issue when you upgrade to the next version of Django (the version one release above what you're currently using). At that point, your code will stop working because you'll be trying to import a module that no longer exists. Django's deprecation process involves introducing warnings like the one you've reported so that you are informed that your code is using a deprecated feature.

Keep in mind that it might not be your own code that is importing copycompat -- it might be a third party library. In that case, the third party library will need to be updated.

The only thing I can guarantee is that it *isn't* being caused by Django itself.
