Python 3.6 Standard Library Module Index + Deprecation Flag

The Python Standard Library Module Index 3.6 dataset is a valuable resource for those working in Python, providing clear insights into the deprecation status of all 325 Python 3.6 standard modules. As Python releases continue, keeping track of deprecated and removed modules is essential for maintaining codebase integrity, compatibility, and security. This dataset serves as a critical audit tool, enabling users to plan upgrades and mitigate potential risks associated with outdated or unsupported modules. The dataset is ideal for risk audit teams, software developers, and tech companies aiming to enhance their operational efficiency and reduce downtimes due to incompatible software dependencies.The dataset can be joined with our other [Standard Library Releases ](https://app.snowflake.com/marketplace/providers/GZT1Z1RAUM8/Version%255E)and our other [Python Package Datasets](https://app.snowflake.com/marketplace/providers/GZT1Z1RAUM8/Version%255E) to evaluate risk, answering these questions, among others:

- Which modules are deprecated within a particular package? e.g., **cryptography**
- On which 3rd-party non-standard libraries do your critical packages depend? e.g. **requests**
- How long has a module been deprecated? e.g. **imp**

This dataset not only aids in immediate compatibility checks but also supports long-term software health monitoring and planning, providing a substantial return on investment by preventing future compatibility issues and fostering a proactive approach to software maintenance. This data release is from patch version [3.6.15](https://docs.python.org/release/3.6.15/py-modindex.html), and the first patch in 3.6 was 3.6.0. Additional patches may be added to this listing in the future. Python 3.6 was released on December 23, 2016. Below are the key features introduced in this minor version:

- **Formatted string literals (f-strings)**: Introduced for easier and more readable string formatting.
- **Underscores in numeric literals**: Enhanced readability of large numbers by allowing underscores as separators.
- **Asynchronous comprehensions**: Supported in list, set, dict comprehensions, and generator expressions, improving asynchronous programming.
- **Improved dictionary order**: The order of keyword arguments is preserved in the function call syntax and class definition, reflecting the actual insertion order.

Python 3.6 reached end of life on December 23, 2021. Python 3.6 no longer receives security patches.
