The documentation detailing modules recommends using the deprecated `imp` module in section 6.1. Instead, it should recommend `importlib`, which `imp` was deprecated in favor of in Python 3.4. The portion of the documentation that says this is in the gray aside box at the bottom of Section 6.1 immediately before Section 6.1.1. These are the pages that have this issue: Python 3.4: https://docs.python.org/3.4/tutorial/modules.html#more-on-modules Python 3.5: https://docs.python.org/3.5/tutorial/modules.html#more-on-modules Python 3.6: https://docs.python.org/3.6/tutorial/modules.html#more-on-modules

Thank you for the report. Fixed in the active versions of python (3.5 and 3.6). 3.4 was in security fix mode. Although, it can see important documentation bug-fixes, this isn't bug-fix as far as 3.4 version is concerned. So, I didn't make the change in 3.4.
