# \[Data Connector 1.0] Deprecating dcdcpy and dcdcr

Starting January 1st 2024 DataCamp will no longer support or maintain the [dcdcpy](https://github.com/datacamp/dcdcpy) or [dcdcr](https://github.com/datacamp/dcdcpr) utility packages for the Data Connector. Being available since the launch of the Data Connector over 2 years ago, we have come to the conclusion that maintaining these pages offer no real value over using the open-source alternatives they are built upon.

Therefore we are officially deprecating both dcdcpy and dcdcr. Both packages will remain available but will issue a warning when installing or using the package.
