[stdlib-sig] Removing the deprecated sre module?

5 May 2008


      Hi,

I know that the deadline for module removal is now passed, but I think
we forgot to decide what should happen to the deprecated sre module:
...
...
...
import sre
:1: DeprecationWarning: The sre module is deprecated, please import re.
help(sre)
...
DESCRIPTION
    This file is only retained for backwards compatibility.
    It will be removed in the future.  sre was moved to re in version 2.5.
...
Currently, the sre module is just a stub that imports the re module.
So, I don't think removing in Py3k will cause any problem.

Cheers,
-- Alexandre
