# Pending Removal in Python 3.16

- The import system:

  - Setting `__loader__` on a module while failing to set `__spec__.loader` is deprecated. In Python 3.16, `__loader__` will cease to be set or taken into consideration by the import system or the standard library.

- `array`: `array.array` `'u'` type (`wchar_t`): use the `'w'` type instead (`Py_UCS4`).

- `builtins`: `~bool`, bitwise inversion on bool.

- `symtable`: Deprecate `symtable.Class.get_methods()` due to the lack of interest. (Contributed by Bénédikt Tran in gh-119698.)
