[Edu-sig] poly module from older Python?

Question: in Python 1.5.2 I see there was a module: poly -- Polynomials. [1] Part of the standard library. Wondering what happened to it, is there an easy way to get a copy short of downloading the whole of old Python? I'm looking for a way to generate roots of a poly. I found Laguerre's method in Haskell [2]. Maybe there's something similar in Python -- I'll search some more (it's not that I haven't been looking...).
