Pending Removal in Python 3.14¶
argparse
: The type, choices, and metavar parameters ofargparse.BooleanOptionalAction
are deprecated and will be removed in 3.14. (Contributed by Nikita Sobolev in gh-92248.)ast
: The following features have been deprecated in documentation since Python 3.8, now cause aDeprecationWarning
to be emitted at runtime when they are accessed or used, and will be removed in Python 3.14:ast.Num
ast.Str
ast.Bytes
ast.NameConstant
ast.Ellipsis
Use
ast.Constant
instead. (Contributed by Serhiy Storchaka in gh-90953.)-
The child watcher classes
MultiLoopChildWatcher
,FastChildWatcher
,AbstractChildWatcher
andSafeChildWatcher
are deprecated and will be removed in Python 3.14. (Contributed by Kumar Aditya in gh-94597.)asyncio.set_child_watcher()
,asyncio.get_child_watcher()
,asyncio.AbstractEventLoopPolicy.set_child_watcher()
andasyncio.AbstractEventLoopPolicy.get_child_watcher()
are deprecated and will be removed in Python 3.14. (Contributed by Kumar Aditya in gh-94597.)The
get_event_loop()
method of the default event loop policy now emits aDeprecationWarning
if there is no current event loop set and it decides to create one. (Contributed by Serhiy Storchaka and Guido van Rossum in gh-100160.)
collections.abc
: DeprecatedByteString
. PreferSequence
orBuffer
. For use in typing, prefer a union, likebytes | bytearray
, orcollections.abc.Buffer
. (Contributed by Shantanu Jain in gh-91896.)email
: Deprecated the isdst parameter inemail.utils.localtime()
. (Contributed by Alan Williams in gh-72346.)importlib
:__package__
and__cached__
will cease to be set or taken into consideration by the import system (gh-97879).importlib.abc
deprecated classes:importlib.abc.ResourceReader
importlib.abc.Traversable
importlib.abc.TraversableResources
Use
importlib.resources.abc
classes instead:(Contributed by Jason R. Coombs and Hugo van Kemenade in gh-93963.)
itertools
had undocumented, inefficient, historically buggy, and inconsistent support for copy, deepcopy, and pickle operations. This will be removed in 3.14 for a significant reduction in code volume and maintenance burden. (Contributed by Raymond Hettinger in gh-101588.)multiprocessing
: The default start method will change to a safer one on Linux, BSDs, and other non-macOS POSIX platforms where'fork'
is currently the default (gh-84559). Adding a runtime warning about this was deemed too disruptive as the majority of code is not expected to care. Use theget_context()
orset_start_method()
APIs to explicitly specify when your code requires'fork'
. See Contexts and start methods.pathlib
:is_relative_to()
andrelative_to()
: passing additional arguments is deprecated.pkgutil
:find_loader()
andget_loader()
now raiseDeprecationWarning
; useimportlib.util.find_spec()
instead. (Contributed by Nikita Sobolev in gh-97850.)pty

types.CodeType
: Accessingco_lnotab
was deprecated in PEP 626 since 3.10 and was planned to be removed in 3.12, but it only got a properDeprecationWarning
in 3.12. May be removed in 3.14. (Contributed by Nikita Sobolev in gh-101866.)typing
:ByteString
, deprecated since Python 3.9, now causes aDeprecationWarning
to be emitted when it is used.urllib
:urllib.parse.Quoter
is deprecated: it was not intended to be a public API. (Contributed by Gregory P. Smith in gh-88168.)
