Pending removal in Python 3.16 ------------------------------ * The import system: * Setting :attr:`~module.__loader__` on a module while failing to set :attr:`__spec__.loader ` is deprecated. In Python 3.16, :attr:`!__loader__` will cease to be set or taken into consideration by the import system or the standard library. * :mod:`array`: * The ``'u'`` format code (:c:type:`wchar_t`) has been deprecated in documentation since Python 3.3 and at runtime since Python 3.13. Use the ``'w'`` format code (:c:type:`Py_UCS4`) for Unicode characters instead. * :mod:`asyncio`: * :func:`!asyncio.iscoroutinefunction` is deprecated and will be removed in Python 3.16, use :func:`inspect.iscoroutinefunction` instead. (Contributed by Jiahao Li and Kumar Aditya in :gh:`122875`.) * :mod:`builtins`: * Bitwise inversion on boolean types, ``~True`` or ``~False`` has been deprecated since Python 3.12, as it produces surprising and unintuitive results (``-2`` and ``-1``). Use ``not x`` instead for the logical negation of a Boolean. In the rare case that you need the bitwise inversion of the underlying integer, convert to ``int`` explicitly (``~int(x)``). * :mod:`shutil`: * The :class:`!ExecError` exception has been deprecated since Python 3.14. It has not been used by any function in :mod:`!shutil` since Python 3.4, and is now an alias of :exc:`RuntimeError`. * :mod:`symtable`: * The :meth:`Class.get_methods ` method has been deprecated since Python 3.14. * :mod:`sys`: * The :func:`~sys._enablelegacywindowsfsencoding` function has been deprecated since Python 3.13. Use the :envvar:`PYTHONLEGACYWINDOWSFSENCODING` environment variable instead. * :mod:`tarfile`: * The undocumented and unused :attr:`!TarFile.tarfile` attribute has been deprecated since Python 3.13.
