Missing convert_to_dict export

[stianjensen]

Describe the bug

In 2.22 a function convert_to_dict was added:
https://github.com/stripe/stripe-python/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md#2220---2019-03-14
#541

After upgrading to 8.x we've started getting warnings that we cannot import from stripe.util anymore, which is fine, but I cannot find anything in the changelog about where we're supposed to import this function from instead now? I only find documentation about convert_to_stripe_object.

Since it was mentioned in the changelog that the function was added I would expect the changelog to also mention a migration path for it now?

To Reproduce

1. Install version 8.0.0 of the Stripe SDK for python
2. Run from stripe.util import convert_to_dict
3. Observe that you receive a deprecation warning now that didn't use to be there:

DeprecationWarning:
    The stripe.util package is deprecated, please change your
    imports to import from stripe directly.
    From:
      from stripe.util import convert_to_stripe_object
    To:
      from stripe import convert_to_stripe_object

  from stripe.util import convert_to_dict

Expected behavior

Either no deprecation warning, or at least a notice in the changelog about where to now import the function from.

Hi @stianjensen, thank you for your report.

Do you mind sharing your use case for convert_to_dict? The StripeObject base class already inherits from dict, so all the convert_to_dict does is "strips" the StripeObject base class.

Ah, thanks for the clarification. I'll look into just getting rid of our use of that function call altogether, then!

I'll close the issue. Please feel free to reopen if you find a use case that's not covered.
