Pending removal in Python 3.15 ------------------------------ * The import system: * Setting :attr:`~module.__cached__` on a module while failing to set :attr:`__spec__.cached ` is deprecated. In Python 3.15, :attr:`!__cached__` will cease to be set or take into consideration by the import system or standard library. (:gh:`97879`) * Setting :attr:`~module.__package__` on a module while failing to set :attr:`__spec__.parent ` is deprecated. In Python 3.15, :attr:`!__package__` will cease to be set or take into consideration by the import system or standard library. (:gh:`97879`) * :mod:`ctypes`: * The undocumented :func:`!ctypes.SetPointerType` function has been deprecated since Python 3.13. * :mod:`http.server`: * The obsolete and rarely used :class:`~http.server.CGIHTTPRequestHandler` has been deprecated since Python 3.13. No direct replacement exists. *Anything* is better than CGI to interface a web server with a request handler. * The :option:`!--cgi` flag to the :program:`python -m http.server` command-line interface has been deprecated since Python 3.13. * :class:`locale`: * The :func:`~locale.getdefaultlocale` function has been deprecated since Python 3.11. Its removal was originally planned for Python 3.13 (:gh:`90817`), but has been postponed to Python 3.15. Use :func:`~locale.getlocale`, :func:`~locale.setlocale`, and :func:`~locale.getencoding` instead. (Contributed by Hugo van Kemenade in :gh:`111187`.) * :mod:`pathlib`: * :meth:`.PurePath.is_reserved` has been deprecated since Python 3.13. Use :func:`os.path.isreserved` to detect reserved paths on Windows. * :mod:`platform`: * :func:`~platform.java_ver` has been deprecated since Python 3.13. This function is only useful for Jython support, has a confusing API, and is largely untested. * :mod:`threading`: * :func:`~threading.RLock` will take no arguments in Python 3.15. Passing any arguments has been deprecated since Python 3.14, as the Python version does not permit any arguments, but the C version allows any number of positional or keyword arguments, ignoring every argument. * :mod:`typing`: * The undocumented keyword argument syntax for creating :class:`~typing.NamedTuple` classes (for example, ``Point = NamedTuple("Point", x=int, y=int)``) has been deprecated since Python 3.13. Use the class-based syntax or the functional syntax instead. * The :func:`typing.no_type_check_decorator` decorator function has been deprecated since Python 3.13. After eight years in the :mod:`typing` module, it has yet to be supported by any major type checker. * :mod:`wave`: * The :meth:`~wave.Wave_read.getmark`, :meth:`!setmark`, and :meth:`~wave.Wave_read.getmarkers` methods of the :class:`~wave.Wave_read` and :class:`~wave.Wave_write` classes have been deprecated since Python 3.13.
