* The :mod:`sysconfig` key ``SO`` is deprecated, it has been replaced by
``EXT_SUFFIX``.
* The ``U`` mode accepted by various ``open`` functions is deprecated.
In Python3 it does not do anything useful, and should be replaced by
appropriate uses of :class:`io.TextIOWrapper` (if needed) and its *newline*
argument.

* Since the *digestmod* argument to the :func:`hmac.new` function will in the
future have no default, all calls to :func:`hmac.new` should be changed to
explicitly specify a *digestmod*. (:issue:`17276`).
explicitly specify a *digestmod* (:issue:`17276`).
* Any calls to ``open`` functions that specify ``U`` should be modified.
``U`` is ineffective in Python3 and will eventually raise an error if used.
Depending on the function, the equivalent of its old Python2 behavior can be
achieved using either a *newline* argument, or if necessary by wrapping the
stream in :mod:`~io.TextIOWrapper` to use its *newline* argument
(:issue:`15204`).
