.. _backward-compatibility: .. raw:: html Backward Compatibility ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The top level namespace / package name for the Python SDK has been changed from ``oraclebmc`` to ``oci``, so all of the documentation now references ``oci``. If you are using the ``oraclebmc`` package you should continue to reference ``oraclebmc`` in your code and when interpreting the documentation you should replace ``oci`` with ``oraclebmc`` (i.e. if there is a class defined in the docs as ``oci.base_client.BaseClient`` in the oraclebmc package this class will be called ``oraclebmc.base_client.BaseClient``). **Note**: The ``oraclebmc`` package is deprecated and will no longer be maintained starting March 2018. Please upgrade to the ``oci`` package to avoid interruption at that time.
