[Python-Dev] deprecated stuff in standard library

I have noticed that deprecated stuff is still being used in the standard
Python library.  When using modules that contain deprecated stuff you
get a warning, and as a mere user there isn't much you can do about that.

As a general rule, the Python standard library should not use deprecated
constructs in non-deprecated (or otherwise deprecated) modules.

The case I am running into is that mhlib uses multifile (in 2.6).
