Everything that was previously marked as deprecated in
twisted.python.components (and has been since Twisted 2.0) is now
being removed.
fixClassImplements and backwardsCompatImplements are now no-ops, and
if you have them in any of your code, you should remove them.
Unfortunately we missed deprecating a few things, so not everything
has been able to be removed yet. The most important thing that will
be going but has not yet is the adaptation function call with a
"default" keyword argument, as in: "IFoo(obj, default=whatever)".
Zope.Interface calls the second arg "alternate" instead of "default",
which is an incompatibility. Because of this, the Interfaces
definitions in twisted cannot be changed to be straight
zope.interface.Interface classes yet, and must still be
t.p.c.Interface for at least another release to allow people to fix
programs using the old "default" argument. (it now does give a
deprecation warning suggesting replacing it with a positional second
argument).
Most things are gone, what's left undeprecated is:
ComponentsDeprecationWarning
registerAdapter
getAdapterFactory
Adapter
Componentized
ReprableComponentized
getRegistry
And what's still there for now, newly deprecated:
Interface
getAdapterClass
getAdapterClassWithInheritance
backwardsCompatImplements
fixClassImplements
The exception class CannotAdapt is an alias for TypeError, so you
should use that directly, although the attribute cannot be actually
deprecated.
