[issue9850] obsolete macpath module dangerously broken and should be removed

[STINNER Victor]

STINNER Victor added the comment:

Serhiy Storchaka: "And please add a Misc/NEWS entry."

I created https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/1590


Serhiy: "You can use test.support.import_module(deprecated=True) for importing deprecated module in tests."

I looked at this function, but I don't want to skip the test if the module cannot be imported.


Jim Fasarakis-Hilliard: "Great! Also, as Mariatta mentioned in a previous message, shouldn't an entry in PEP-4 be made?"

I created https://github.com/python/peps/pull/257

I didn't know the PEP 4.
