[issue21391] shutil uses both os.path.abspath and an 'import from' of abspath

[R. David Murray]

R. David Murray added the comment:

I'd prefer to get rid of it, otherwise we might get requests to add all the other os.path functions to the shutil namespace, and I don't think having that kind of "more than one way to do it" serves anyone.  I suppose we'll have to deprecate it first if we do get rid of it :(.
