Change base class of PyGIDeprecationWarning based on minor version (1.48 KB, patch)

Description Simon Feltman 2013-03-17 21:00:09 UTC 
The idea is to derive PyGIDeprecationWarning from RuntimeWarning for unstable and from DeprecationWarning for stable. Since DeprecationWarning is not shown by default, regular users would not be shown deprecation warnings coming from PyGObject in stable releases.

Use RuntimeWarning as the base class of PyGIDeprecationWarning
for unstable (odd minor version) and use DeprecationWarning for
stable (even minor version). This is so PyGObject deprecations
behave the same as regular Python deprecations in stable releases.

I'm a bit torn here, as many application developers will use the stable releases. But for the sake of conservatism let's do this. Please push, so that it can go into today's 3.7.92 release.
