Pending Removal in Python 3.15
******************************

* "ctypes":

  * The undocumented "ctypes.SetPointerType()" function has been
    deprecated since Python 3.13.

* "http.server":

  * The obsolete and rarely used "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 "--cgi" flag to the **python -m http.server** command-line
    interface has been deprecated since Python 3.13.

* "importlib": "__package__" and "__cached__" will cease to be set or
  taken into consideration by the import system (gh-97879).

* "locale":

  * The "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
    "getlocale()", "setlocale()", and "getencoding()" instead.

* "pathlib":

  * "PurePath.is_reserved()" has been deprecated since Python 3.13.
    Use "os.path.isreserved()" to detect reserved paths on Windows.

* "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.

* "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.

* "typing":

  * The undocumented keyword argument syntax for creating "NamedTuple"
    classes (e.g. "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 "typing.no_type_check_decorator()" decorator function has been
    deprecated since Python 3.13. After eight years in the "typing"
    module, it has yet to be supported by any major type checker.

* "wave":

  * The "getmark()", "setmark()", and "getmarkers()" methods of the
    "Wave_read" and "Wave_write" classes have been deprecated since
    Python 3.13.
