inspect.getargspec was deprecated in docs since 3.0 (https://docs.python.org/3.0/library/inspect.html?highlight=getargspec#inspect.getargspec), raising a DeprecationWarning since 3.5 (bpo-20438, https://github.com/python/cpython/commit/3cfec2e2fcab9f39121cec362b78ac235093ca1c).

inspect.formatargspec was deprecated in docs since 3.5 (https://docs.python.org/3.5/library/inspect.html?highlight=getargspec#inspect.formatargspec), raising a DeprecationWarning since 3.8 (bpo-33582, https://github.com/python/cpython/commit/46c5cd0f6e22bdfbdd3f0b18f1d01eda754e7e11).

Undocumented inspect.Signature.from_function and inspect.Signature.from_builtin in docs and by raising a DeprecationWarning since 3.5 (bpo-20438, https://github.com/python/cpython/commit/3cfec2e2fcab9f39121cec362b78ac235093ca1c).

These can be removed in Python 3.11.

Have you done any checks how much external code is using the deprecated callables in the wild? I remember when the 3.5 deprecations started, a lot of libraries started emitting them because they stuck to `getargspec` which was Python 2 compatible.

Slightly related, inspect.getfullargspec was also deprecated and later undeprecated. Please find the discussion post this message

Of the 188 repos I managed to clone of 200 top PyPI packages, looks like these 9 are still calling them:

botocore
client_python
cython
google-api-python-client
grpc
ipython
pycodestyle
pyrsistent
wrapt
