Thanks everyone for your responses. I will look at removing the
notices in the code when I get a chance. That would probably involve
reverting
https://hg.python.org/cpython/rev/381a72ab5fb8
And also the modulefinder.py comment
There are also these commits that could be backported
https://hg.python.org/cpython/rev/0980034adaa7 (ctypes)
https://hg.python.org/cpython/diff/627db59031be/Lib/modulefinder.py
but it might be safer just to leave the compatibility code there,
perhaps with a clarifying comment.
