Sorry, I'm being very rude by sending messages to a mailing list but
not subscribing. But in lieu of a bug tracker this will have to do.

Usually the docs are pretty good, and point you in the right direction
when a package gets deprecated, but this is an exception:

http://docs.python.org/library/compiler.html

"Deprecated since version 2.6: The compiler package has been removed
in Python 3.0."

I was expecting the message to continue on to say what package(s)
replace the functionality of the compiler package.

Thankfully Google/StackOverflow had the answer:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/909092/why-is-the-compiler-package-discontinued-in-python-3

Thanks,
Tom
