"cgi" standard library module used by bottle is deprecated in Python 3.11, to be removed in 3.13 about bottle HOT 3 OPEN

That's unfortunate, bottle uses the form-data/multipart parser from that library. The PEP says:

FieldStorage/MiniFieldStorage has no direct replacement, but can typically be replaced by using multipart (for POST and PUT requests) or urllib.parse.parse_qsl (for GET and HEAD requests)

Great. I'm the author of multipart, so I'm okay with that, but copy&pasting all that into bottle (to maintain the zero-dependency design goal) feels wrong.

Removing the multipart/form-data parser from Python standard library is unthinkable. I understand the cgi module was deprecated because CGI is itself deprecated, but the multipart encoding is not deprecated, it's still used today, hence I totally don't understand this..

PEP 594: Remove the cgi and cgitb modules, deprecated in Python 3.11.

cgi.FieldStorage can typically be replaced with urllib.parse.parse_qsl() for GET and HEAD requests, and the email.message module or multipart PyPI project for POST and PUT.
