No worries. So what I am doing is adding back the name that points to the
new locations when the API still exists (but without a deprecation
warning for them)

for instance, in distutils.sysconfig will have:

+# names defined here to keep backward compatibility
+get_python_version = _sysconfig.get_python_version
+get_config_h_filename = _sysconfig.get_config_h_filename
+parse_config_h = _sysconfig.parse_config_h
+get_config_vars = _sysconfig.get_config_vars
+get_config_var = _sysconfig.get_config_var
+from distutils.ccompiler import customize_compiler

And for the APIs that are being deprecated, I am just throwing a
DeprecationWarning.
For the patch problem, I am not sure what's the best way. I think
that's not a huge change for people patching code. What do you suggest
?
