[New-bugs-announce] [issue14797] Deprecate imp.find_module()/load_module()

[Brett Cannon]

New submission from Brett Cannon <brett at python.org>:

With importlib.find_loader() now implemented, imp.find_module() (and its companion, imp.load_module()) can go away and stop inflicting their bad API upon the world.

The trick, though, is fixing code that uses the API. That means pkgutil, multiprocessing.forking, modulefinder, and idlelib.EditorWindow all need to be patched to stop using imp.find_module()/load_module().
