Large codebases and libraries need time to refactor code that might be legacy or automatically generated.
Rapidly turning a warning into a hard error can break environments. A longer warning period ensures developers see the notice without their builds immediately failing.
For most developers, this is rarely the intended result. Usually, someone using ~ on a boolean actually wants the logical NOT ( not True ), which correctly returns False . Because of this common point of confusion, the Python steering committee decided to deprecate bitwise inversion on booleans to encourage clearer coding practices. What’s New in Issue #122982?
