In all seriousness, why not do something like what we started with the threading module? We added pep8 aliases and started marking the old API deprecated. They'll follow the common deprecation guidelines we already have.
That, plus the dict config option you mentioned plus a doc re-org would probably go a long way to improving the PR of the module.

Jesse keeps bugging me to review PyCon proposals ;-), so I haven't had a chance to dig into the doc work, yet. It's still on my list, though. Doug
