/home/ncoghlan/devel/py3k/Lib/inspect.py:453: DeprecationWarning: inspect.getmoduleinfo() is deprecated
  info = getmoduleinfo(path)
/home/ncoghlan/devel/py3k/Lib/inspect.py:445: DeprecationWarning: imp.get_suffixes() is deprecated; use the constants defined on importlib.machinery instead
  for suffix, mode, mtype in imp.get_suffixes()]
[(FileFinder('.'), 'foo', False), (FileFinder('.'), 'python-gdb', False), (FileFinder('.'), 'setup', False)]

The problem is the calls to inspect.getmodulename().

Do these APIs really need to be deprecated? Can't they just be redirected to importlib instead?
