It was deprecated because it is buggy and unmaintainable.

In 3.1 it has been replaced with the new written-in-Python importlib. 
That has also been added to the upcoming 2.7.

Anyone using imputil and having problems with it should try the 2.7 
version of importlib and see if it runs well-enough on earlier versions.
