There are several modules in the standard library that use the regex
module. When they are imported, they print a warning about using a
deprecated module. I think this is bad form. Either the modules that
depend on regex should by updated to use re or they should be
deprecated themselves.
I discovered the following offenders:
asynchat
knee
poplib
reconvert
I would suggest fixing asynchat and poplib and deprecating knee. The
reconvert module may be a special case.
