Only with docs.\nBut, right now they are deprecated since 2020.\n\nThis has a big history:\n- https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/72196\n- https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/84681 and https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/19948\n- https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/3796\n\nSome projects in the wild use `_load_system_functions`, despite the fact it is deprecated and was never documented and always was protected.\n\nExamples:\n- https://github.com/spulec/freezegun/blob/5e06dff53244992204706adf6907e7138ac96d39/freezegun/api.py#L71\n- https://github.com/pganssle/time-machine/blob/ccc59927b4c51e35895c34578cba7aca69f28055/src/time_machine/__init__.py#L211\n- https://github.com/adamchainz/time-machine/blob/39e327e18d52ebc76d3973b465ff42e139fd651d/src/time_machine/__init__.py#L223\n\nSo, what should we do?\n1. Add a proper warning, schedule it for removal in two versions\n2. Just remove them\n\nI think that `1.` is safer.\nI would like to work on it after the decision is made.\n\n\u003c!-- gh-linked-prs --\u003e\n### Linked PRs\n* gh-115934\n* gh-117832\n\u003c!-- /gh-linked-prs --\u003e\n","author":{"url":"https://github.com/sobolevn","@type":"Person","name":"sobolevn"},"datePublished":"2023-12-20T08:36:52.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":10},"url":"https://github.com/113308/cpython/issues/113308"}
