Re: What is a DeprecationWarning?

[Stefaan Himpe]

Hi,

It is not a lilypond warning.

It is a warning issued by Python, a programming language used
to write the ly2dvi script. It gives warnings because you are
using the newest version of Python which already warns developers
for future changes.

It is best to just ignore it, and wait until the scripts
are adjusted to work with the new Python, or don't wait
and adjust them yourself :-)

Regards,
Stefaan.
