Message 373622 - Python tracker (original) (raw)

FYI PEP 387 (which I expect will be accepted once I catch up from vacation) specified deprecations are to be public for two releases before removal or approval from the SC for a shorter cycle.

So if distutils is deprecated in 3.10 then it can be removed in 3.12 or you can ask the SC for an exemption to do it in 3.11.
