Isn't mhlib itself deprecated? (It's gone in Py3k.)

I wouldn't like that, but it is beside my point. If a module is deprecated, then it should not be used in released code. If mhlib is deprecated, it doesn't tell you about it. mhlib uses multifile and multifile does tell you it is deprecated, and that is pretty annoying. This is because no one has gotten around to it. Create a bug report for it, and preferably attach a patch with tests.

My point is, as a matter of policy, nothing should be released that uses deprecated stuff. I can't create a bug report about wrong (or incomplete) policies.

Eric.
