Will `with_*` loops be removed once 2.10 is out?

Is the a way to combine with_ and a lookup from a collection? E.g. the flattened lookup from community.general.

Hi Nick,

Is the a way to combine `with_` and a lookup from a collection? E.g.
the flattened lookup from community.general.

you can use "with_namespace.collection.plugin:".

Looks ugly, but works :slight_smile:

Cheers,
Felix

Hi,

also (forgot to mention that in my previous mail), in 2.10 the short
name will automatically redirect to the long name for plugins (and
modules) that were already in 2.9. I.e. with_flattened will continue to
work. (Except if you don't install the community.general collection,
then of course it won't, since it's a redirection.)

The redirect behavior is currently not available in devel (if you have
tried that), but will be hopefully soon...

Cheers,
Felix
