+# Python 3 module
+
+This module provides support for dealing with Python 3. It has the
+following methods.
+
+This module is deprecated and replaced by the
+[python](Python-module.md) module.
+
+## find_python
+
+This is a cross platform way of finding the Python 3 executable, which
+may have a different name on different operating systems. Returns an
+[external program](Reference-manual.md#external-program-object)
+object.
+
+*Added 0.38.0*
+
+Deprecated, replaced by
+[`find_installation`](Python-module.md#find_installation) function
+from `python` module.
+
+## extension_module
+
+Creates a `shared_module` target that is named according to the naming
+conventions of the target platform. All positional and keyword
+arguments are the same as for
+[shared_module](Reference-manual.md#shared_module).
+
+`extension_module` does not add any dependencies to the library so user may
+need to add `dependencies : dependency('python3')`, see
+[Python3 dependency](Dependencies.md#python3).
+
+*Added 0.38.0*
+
+Deprecated, replaced by
+[`extension_module`](Python-module.md#extension_module) method from
+`python` module.
+
+## language_version
+
+Returns a string with the Python language version such as `3.5`.
+
+*Added 0.40.0*
+
+Deprecated, replaced by
+[`language_version`](Python-module.md#language_version) method from
+`python` module.
+
+## sysconfig_path
+
+Returns the Python sysconfig path without prefix, such as
+`lib/python3.6/site-packages`.
+
+*Added 0.40.0*
+
+Deprecated, replaced by [`get_path`](Python-module.md#get_path)
+method from `python` module.
