* Passing ``None`` as the first argument to the :func:`shlex.split` function
has been deprecated. (Contributed by Zackery Spytz in :issue:`33262`.)

* The :mod:`lib2to3` module now emits a :exc:`PendingDeprecationWarning`.
Python 3.9 switched to a PEG parser (see :pep:`617`), and Python 3.10 may
include new language syntax that is not parsable by lib2to3's LL(1) parser.
The ``lib2to3`` module may be removed from the standard library in a future
Python version. Consider third-party alternatives such as `LibCST`_ or
`parso`_.
