If your project currently triggers a DeprecationWarning when using ~ on a boolean, the fix is straightforward. Replace the bitwise operator with the logical not keyword: Copied to clipboard is_active = True status =

Python Development Update: Extending the Deprecation Warning for ~bool (Issue #122982)

Originally, the plan was to move toward a full error or a more aggressive deprecation schedule. However, Issue #122982 proposes . This extension serves a few key purposes:

As Python continues to refine its syntax for better clarity, Issue #122982 marks a small but important step in how the language handles these edge cases. The Problem: Why ~True Isn't False
