codecs.open DeprecationWarning when using Python 3.14 #8446
Description
Context
When building documentation using MkDocs with the Material Theme in virtual environment using Python 3.14.0rc2, I got the following warning:
INFO - DeprecationWarning: codecs.open() is deprecated. Use open() instead.
File ".venv/lib/python3.14/site-packages/material/extensions/emoji.py", line 53, in to_svg
el.text = md.htmlStash.store(_load(icons[shortname]["path"]))
File ".venv/lib/python3.14/site-packages/material/extensions/emoji.py", line 68, in _load
with codecs.open(file, encoding = "utf-8") as f:This is the line causing the problems in emoji.py:
def _load(file: str):
with codecs.open(file, encoding = "utf-8") as f:
return f.read()Proposed solution, just replace codecs.open with open and remove the import for codecs:
def _load(file: str):
with open(file, encoding = "utf-8") as f:
return f.read()I don't understand why your code tree duplicates files, but the file appears to be located at these two locations:
- material/extensions/emoji.py
- src/extensions/emoji.py
Bug description
codecs.open is deprecated as of Python 3.14 and open should be used instead.

Note: I tried building the zip-file you want, but couldn't. This is a very straightforward issue with a clear 1 or 2 line solution.
