Actually removing re._pattern_type, uuid._uuid_generate_time and some private names in the typing module broke several third-party projects. See for example:

https://github.com/search?q=_pattern_type&type=Issues
https://github.com/search?q=_uuid_generate_time&type=Issues
https://github.com/bintoro/overloading.py/issues/5
https://github.com/hsolbrig/PyShEx/issues/17

I'm sure there are examples for other removed names. I don't understand why os.errno should be special.

Books can contain errors (e.g. the claim that Python 3 is not Turing complete).
