Removed C APIs are :ref:`listed separately <whatsnew311-c-api-removed>`.

* :class:`smtpd.MailmanProxy` is now removed as it is unusable without
an external module, ``mailman``. (Contributed by Dong-hee Na in :issue:`35800`.)
* Removed the :func:`[email protected]` :term:`decorator`
enabling legacy generator-based coroutines to be compatible with
:keyword:`async` / :keyword:`await` code.
The function has been deprecated since Python 3.8 and the removal was
initially scheduled for Python 3.10. Use :keyword:`async def` instead.
(Contributed by Illia Volochii in :issue:`43216`.)

* Removed :class:`!asyncio.coroutines.CoroWrapper` used for wrapping legacy
generator-based coroutine objects in the debug mode.
(Contributed by Illia Volochii in :issue:`43216`.)

* Due to significant security concerns, the *reuse_address* parameter of
:meth:`asyncio.loop.create_datagram_endpoint`, disabled in Python 3.9, is
now entirely removed. This is because of the behavior of the socket option
``SO_REUSEADDR`` in UDP.
(Contributed by Hugo van Kemenade in :issue:`45129`.)

* The ``binhex`` module, deprecated in Python 3.9, is now removed.
The following :mod:`binascii` functions, deprecated in Python 3.9, are now
also removed:
* Removed the :mod:`!binhex` module, deprecated in Python 3.9.
Also removed the related, similarly-deprecated :mod:`binascii` functions:

* ``a2b_hqx()``, ``b2a_hqx()``;
* ``rlecode_hqx()``, ``rledecode_hqx()``.
* :func:`!binascii.a2b_hqx`
* :func:`!binascii.b2a_hqx`
* :func:`!binascii.rlecode_hqx`
* :func:`!binascii.rldecode_hqx`

The :func:`binascii.crc_hqx` function remains available.

(Contributed by Victor Stinner in :issue:`45085`.)

* The distutils ``bdist_msi`` command, deprecated in Python 3.9, is now removed.
* Removed the :mod:`distutils` ``bdist_msi`` command deprecated in Python 3.9.
Use ``bdist_wheel`` (wheel packages) instead.
(Contributed by Hugo van Kemenade in :issue:`45124`.)

* Due to significant security concerns, the *reuse_address* parameter of
:meth:`asyncio.loop.create_datagram_endpoint`, disabled in Python 3.9, is
now entirely removed. This is because of the behavior of the socket option
``SO_REUSEADDR`` in UDP.
(Contributed by Hugo van Kemenade in :issue:`45129`.)

* Removed :meth:`__getitem__` methods of
* Removed the :meth:`~object.__getitem__` methods of
:class:`xml.dom.pulldom.DOMEventStream`, :class:`wsgiref.util.FileWrapper`
and :class:`fileinput.FileInput`, deprecated since Python 3.9.
(Contributed by Hugo van Kemenade in :issue:`45132`.)

* The following deprecated functions and methods are removed in the :mod:`gettext`
module: :func:`~gettext.lgettext`, :func:`~gettext.ldgettext`,
:func:`~gettext.lngettext` and :func:`~gettext.ldngettext`.

Function :func:`~gettext.bind_textdomain_codeset`, methods
:meth:`~gettext.NullTranslations.output_charset` and
:meth:`~gettext.NullTranslations.set_output_charset`, and the *codeset*
parameter of functions :func:`~gettext.translation` and
:func:`~gettext.install` are also removed, since they are only used for
the ``l*gettext()`` functions.
* Removed the deprecated :mod:`gettext` functions
:func:`!lgettext`, :func:`!ldgettext`,
:func:`!lngettext` and :func:`!ldngettext`.
Also removed the :func:`!bind_textdomain_codeset` function,
the :meth:`!NullTranslations.output_charset` and
:meth:`!NullTranslations.set_output_charset` methods,
and the *codeset* parameter of :func:`!translation` and :func:`!install`,
since they are only used for the :func:`!l*gettext` functions.
(Contributed by Dong-hee Na and Serhiy Storchaka in :issue:`44235`.)

* The :func:`@asyncio.coroutine <asyncio.coroutine>` :term:`decorator` enabling
legacy generator-based coroutines to be compatible with async/await code.
The function has been deprecated since Python 3.8 and the removal was
initially scheduled for Python 3.10. Use :keyword:`async def` instead.
(Contributed by Illia Volochii in :issue:`43216`.)

* :class:`asyncio.coroutines.CoroWrapper` used for wrapping legacy
generator-based coroutine objects in the debug mode.
(Contributed by Illia Volochii in :issue:`43216`.)

* Removed the deprecated ``split()`` method of :class:`_tkinter.TkappType`.
(Contributed by Erlend E. Aasland in :issue:`38371`.)

* Removed from the :mod:`inspect` module:

* the ``getargspec`` function, deprecated since Python 3.0;
* The :func:`!getargspec` function, deprecated since Python 3.0;
use :func:`inspect.signature` or :func:`inspect.getfullargspec` instead.

* the ``formatargspec`` function, deprecated since Python 3.5;
use the :func:`inspect.signature` function and :class:`Signature` object
directly.
* The :func:`!formatargspec` function, deprecated since Python 3.5;
use the :func:`inspect.signature` function
or the :class:`inspect.Signature` object directly.

* the undocumented ``Signature.from_builtin`` and ``Signature.from_function``
functions, deprecated since Python 3.5; use the
:meth:`Signature.from_callable() <inspect.Signature.from_callable>` method
instead.
* The undocumented :meth:`!Signature.from_builtin`
and :meth:`!Signature.from_function` methods, deprecated since Python 3.5;
use the :meth:`Signature.from_callable() <inspect.Signature.from_callable>`
method instead.

* Remove namespace package support from unittest discovery. It was introduced in
Python 3.4 but has been broken since Python 3.7.
(Contributed by Inada Naoki in :issue:`23882`.)

* Remove ``__class_getitem__`` method from :class:`pathlib.PurePath`,
* Removed the :meth:`~object.__class_getitem__` method
from :class:`pathlib.PurePath`,
because it was not used and added by mistake in previous versions.
(Contributed by Nikita Sobolev in :issue:`46483`.)

* Remove the undocumented private ``float.__set_format__()`` method, previously
known as ``float.__setformat__()`` in Python 3.7. Its docstring said: "You
probably don't want to use this function. It exists mainly to be used in
Python's test suite."
* Removed the :class:`!MailmanProxy` class in the :mod:`smtpd` module,
as it is unusable without the external :mod:`!mailman` package.
(Contributed by Dong-hee Na in :issue:`35800`.)

* Removed the deprecated :meth:`!split` method of :class:`!_tkinter.TkappType`.
(Contributed by Erlend E. Aasland in :issue:`38371`.)

(and corresponding ``EXPERIMENTAL_ISOLATED_SUBINTERPRETERS``)
* The :option:`!--experimental-isolated-subinterpreters` configure flag
(and corresponding :c:macro:`!EXPERIMENTAL_ISOLATED_SUBINTERPRETERS` macro)
have been removed.

* Pynche --- The Pythonically Natural Color and Hue Editor --- has been moved out
* `Pynche <https://pypi.org/project/pynche/>`_
--- The Pythonically Natural Color and Hue Editor --- has been moved out
of ``Tools/scripts`` and is `being developed independently
<https://gitlab.com/warsaw/pynche/-/tree/main>`_ from the Python source tree.
