 Guido> PEP 4 lists these that were already obsolete in 2.0:
 Guido> addpack, cmp, cmpcache, codehack, dircmp, dump, fmt,
 Guido> lockfile, newdir, Para, poly, regex, regsub, tb, timing,
 Guido> util, whatsound, tzmod, find, grep, packmail, ni, rand,
 Guido> soundex, cl, sv
 Guido> of these, regex, regsub, and timing are still importable in 2.4.
And in 2.5. Regex and regsub both import with deprecation warnings. Timing
imports without a peep. None of the others import.
