I created PR 28116 to deprecate the lib2to3 package: replace PendingDeprecationWarning to DeprecationWarning. In 2021, I don't think that we should keep the 2to3 tool in the stdlib. Python 2 reached end of line 1 year ago. For the lib2to3 *parser*, IMO it would be better to maintain it outside the stdlib, and collaborate with other existing forks, like the parser used by Black. The change is only about *deprecating* lib2to3, not *remove* it. For the removal, we should check if major projects which used it moved to something else. It's kind of a shame that Python stdlib (lib2to3) cannot parse valid Python 3.10 code :-( IMO it's better to deprecate (and then remove) lib2to3. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue40360> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
