Pydantic v1 → v2 renames: .dict()→model_dump(), parse_obj→model_validate, orm_mode→from_attributes, @validator

Fix

V1	V2
`m.dict()` / `m.json()`	`m.model_dump()` / `m.model_dump_json()`
`M.parse_obj(d)` / `M.parse_raw(s)`	`M.model_validate(d)` / `M.model_validate_json(s)`
`M.from_orm(obj)` + `orm_mode = True`	`M.model_validate(obj)` + `model_config = ConfigDict(from_attributes=True)`
`m.copy()` / `M.construct()`	`m.model_copy()` / `M.model_construct()`
`M.schema()` / `update_forward_refs()`	`M.model_json_schema()` / `model_rebuild()`
`M.__fields__`	`M.model_fields`
`@validator('x')` / `@root_validator`	`@field_validator('x')` / `@model_validator(mode='after')`
`@validate_arguments`	`@validate_call`
`Field(regex=...)`, `allow_mutation`, `const`	`Field(pattern=...)`, `frozen`, `Literal[...]`
`__root__: list[int]`	`class M(RootModel[list[int]])`
`allow_population_by_field_name`	`populate_by_name` (or `validate_by_name` from 2.11)
`anystr_strip_whitespace`	`str_strip_whitespace`

from typing import Optional
from pydantic import BaseModel, ConfigDict, field_validator
class User(BaseModel):
    model_config = ConfigDict(from_attributes=True)
    name: str
    nickname: Optional[str] = None   # v2: needs '= None' to be optional
    @field_validator("name")
    @classmethod
    def strip(cls, v: str) -> str:
        return v.strip()
User.model_validate(orm_row).model_dump()

Automate most of it: pip install bump-pydantic && bump-pydantic my_package.

Symptom

Older models generate Pydantic v1 code; on v2 it raises deprecation warnings or errors: .dict(), .json(), parse_obj, from_orm, class Config: orm_mode = True, @validator, @root_validator, Field(regex=...), __root__ fields. A subtle one: Optional[str] without a default is now required.

Cause

Pydantic V2 rewrote the API (pydantic-core). V1 names are deprecated or removed.

Verify

python -W error::DeprecationWarning -m pytest passes (Pydantic emits PydanticDeprecatedSince20 for V1 names).
