Guido> PEP 4 lists these that were already obsolete in 2.0:

Guido>     addpack, cmp, cmpcache, codehack, dircmp, dump, fmt,
Guido>     lockfile, newdir, Para, poly, regex, regsub, tb, timing,
Guido>     util, whatsound, tzmod, find, grep, packmail, ni, rand,
Guido>     soundex, cl, sv

Guido> of these, regex, regsub, and timing are still importable in 2.4.

And in 2.5. Regex and regsub both import with deprecation warnings. Timing imports without a peep. None of the others import.
