LGTM. I'm fine with removing the module. I just left minor remarks on the documentation, you're free to ignore them.

LGTM. Thanks @terryjreedy for the way better documentation than what I wrote :-) It's good to write down the full rationale, otherwise people get angry when they see that we remove modules on purpose.

Victor, I was inspired to add a 'solution' by your sentence from issue 39352: "I'm no longer sure that it's a good idea to remove a module from the stdlib without providing a solution for the few people relying on it." In this case, I am convinced that copying is a better solution than putting the module on PyPI. |
