 # Pydevlake
 
+> **⚠️ DEPRECATED — Scheduled for removal.**
+> The Python plugin framework (PyDevLake) is deprecated and will be removed from
+> Apache DevLake in 3 months per the deprecation plan in
+> [#9092](https://github.com/apache/devlake/issues/9092).
+>
+> Reasons:
+> - Only one plugin (`azuredevops`) ever shipped on this framework; the `dbt`
+>   plugin was already removed (#8970).
+> - No feature/fix commits to Python plugins since Dec 2025; only dependency
+>   refreshes and runtime bumps land.
+> - A fully-featured Go implementation, `azuredevops_go`, now supersedes the
+>   Python `azuredevops` plugin (including on-premises support, #9014).
+>
+> **What you should do:**
+> - New plugins: write them in **Go**. See `backend/plugins/` for 40+ reference
+>   implementations.
+> - Existing `azuredevops` (Python) users: migrate to `azuredevops_go` (a
+>   migration guide will be published during the deprecation window).
+>
+> No new Python plugins will be accepted. Only critical security fixes will land
+> during the deprecation window.

 Pydevlake is a framework for writing plugins for [DevLake](https://devlake.apache.org/) in Python. The framework source code
 can be found in [here](./pydevlake).
