py2exe: warning: use func(*args, **kwargs) instead of apply(func, args, kwargs)

[Achim Domma]

Hi,

I'm using py2exe to create a exe out of a python script. If works fine so
far, but a get lot's of this warnings:

warning: use func(*args, **kwargs) instead of apply(func, args, kwargs)

I tried the last stable version of py2exe and the prerelease for 0.5. Both
show this behavior. Can somebody tell me what the message means and how to
avoid it?

regards,
Achim

It means exactly what it says. The two expressions it gives are
equivalent, but apply is deprecated in 2.3, so use func(*args,
**kwargs) instead. Either that, or figure out how to turn it off -- I
presume it's coming from Python rather than py2exe itself.
