Pending removal in Python 3.14
******************************

* "argparse": The *type*, *choices*, and *metavar* parameters of
  "argparse.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 a "DeprecationWarning" 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.)

* "asyncio":

  * The child watcher classes "asyncio.MultiLoopChildWatcher",
    "asyncio.FastChildWatcher", "asyncio.AbstractChildWatcher" and
    "asyncio.SafeChildWatcher" 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()" and
    "asyncio.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 a "DeprecationWarning" 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.)

* "email": Deprecated the *isdst* parameter in
  "email.utils.localtime()". (Contributed by Alan Williams in
  gh-72346.)

* "importlib.abc" deprecated classes:

  * "importlib.abc.ResourceReader"

  * "importlib.abc.Traversable"

  * "importlib.abc.TraversableResources"

  Use "importlib.resources.abc" classes instead:

  * "importlib.resources.abc.Traversable"

  * "importlib.resources.abc.TraversableResources"

  (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 the "get_context()" or
  "set_start_method()" APIs to explicitly specify when your code
  *requires* "'fork'".  See Contextes et méthodes de démarrage.

* "pathlib": "is_relative_to()" and "relative_to()": passing
  additional arguments is deprecated.

* "pkgutil": "pkgutil.find_loader()" and "pkgutil.get_loader()" now
  raise "DeprecationWarning"; use "importlib.util.find_spec()"
  instead. (Contributed by Nikita Sobolev in gh-97850.)

* "pty":

  * "master_open()": use "pty.openpty()".

  * "slave_open()": use "pty.openpty()".

* "sqlite3":

  * "version" and "version_info".

  * "execute()" and "executemany()" if named placeholders are used and
    *parameters* is a sequence instead of a "dict".

* "urllib": "urllib.parse.Quoter" is deprecated: it was not intended
  to be a public API. (Contributed by Gregory P. Smith in gh-88168.)
