missing pandas.core.config in v0.25

[Borda]

Problem description

I need a print table with several columns by default for automatic test purposes while the default number of columns changed from version v0.23. I was using a simple check

if 'display.max_columns' in pandas.core.config._registered_options:
    pandas.set_option('display.max_columns', 20)

but this was broken from v0.25 since the config is missing

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
AttributeError: module 'pandas.core' has no attribute 'config'

I have checked the release notes but I dd not find any info about moving this property...

Code Sample

.core.config._registered_options

Expected Output

Extending the columns to be shown

Output of pd.show_versions()

pandas.core has been private for quite a while

i would just call the pd.set_option()

[Borda]

@jreback well and pd.set_option() is there since when? what does it mean "quite a while"?

does not say anything since we need some legacy pandas versions...

[jreback]

you are using kong private api

use at your own risk

[Borda]

sorry, but pandas.core.config does not look like private... 😃

Unfortunately, it's only documented as private: https://pandas.pydata.org/pandas-docs/stable/reference/index.html

Changing it to _core would likely be too disruptive at this stage.

i disagree

i am going to deprecate this

otherwise we will never get out of this hole

[TomAugspurger]

May be worth trying (starting with a DeprecationWarning, right?) Then moving to FutureWarning?
