Do you want warn

with DeprecationWarning

.

Exactly what you call it, it's not that important, but stdlib has a standard template for legacy modules, like this:



# doc string, top-level comments, imports, __all__ =

import warnings
warnings.warn("the spam module is deprecated", DeprecationWarning,
              stacklevel=2)

# normal module code

See source 2.7sets

.
