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:

Large codebases and libraries need time to refactor code that might be legacy or automatically generated. 122982

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. If your project currently triggers a DeprecationWarning when

Keep an eye on your console for those DeprecationWarnings —they are there to help you stay ahead of the curve! A longer warning period ensures developers see the

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

If you have ever accidentally used the bitwise inversion operator ( ~ ) on a Python boolean, you might have noticed it behaves in a way that is technically correct but logically confusing. 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

It allows more time for the community to discuss if there are specific edge cases where bitwise inversion on bool remains necessary. How to Prepare Your Code
