+   Python 3.9 switched to a PEG parser (see :pep:`617`) while lib2to3 is
+   using a less flexible LL(1) parser.  Python 3.10 includes new language
+   syntax that is not parsable by lib2to3's LL(1) parser (see :pep:`634`).
+   The ``lib2to3`` module was marked pending for deprecation in Python 3.9
+   (raising :exc:`PendingDeprecationWarning` on import) and fully deprecated
+   in Python 3.11 (raising :exc:`DeprecationWarning`).
+   It will be removed from the standard library in Python 3.13.
+   Consider third-party alternatives such as `LibCST`_ or `parso`_.
