Issue: Remove deprecated shutil.ExecError #149567

StanFromIreland · 2026-05-08T15:42:02Z

            self.x
-            from shutil import ExecError
-            print(ExecError)
+            from heapq import heapify_max


Turns out it was used somewhere after all! Technically this doesn't matter, but to avoid any potential confusion I changed it to something else.

I confirmed it still fails when 1561385 is reverted.

LGTM. I believe #123125 was one of my earliest contributions, actually.

Just a heads-up: there are still some people using this. (See the search I referred to in the original deprecation issue.) I'm not super worried about it, considering we were emitting a warning, but it's definitely worth noting.

Note: switching to '9ee9f58747652764e1bdca0050daeeaea8a6b92d'.

You are in 'detached HEAD' state. You can look around, make experimental
changes and commit them, and you can discard any commits you make in this
state without impacting any branches by switching back to a branch.

If you want to create a new branch to retain commits you create, you may
do so (now or later) by using -c with the switch command. Example:

  git switch -c <new-branch-name>

Or undo this operation with:

  git switch -

Turn off this advice by setting config variable advice.detachedHead to false

This and some other removals are still listed in "Pending removal in Python 3.16".

https://docs.python.org/3.16/deprecations/index.html#pending-removal-in-python-3-16

Please could you remove them?

StanFromIreland · 2026-06-21T08:33:57Z

Oh, I thought the guideline was to keep them there and then the entire file would be removed at some point? Or I may be misremembering.

hugovk · 2026-06-21T10:03:35Z

I don't recall either!

But https://docs.python.org/3.16/deprecations/index.html#pending-removal-in-python-3-16 is out of date for the 3.16 docs, when they've also been listed as removed at https://docs.python.org/3.16/whatsnew/3.16.html#removed (and removed in code).

If we update https://docs.python.org/3.16/deprecations/index.html#pending-removal-in-python-3-16 as we go, it's a good TODO list of what's left to remove.
