Is there any reason to import exceptions? It's only done in 4 places: Lib/asyncore.py, Lib/shutil.py, Lib/idlelib/PyShell.py, and Lib/test/testexceptions.py. I can understand the one in test, but should the other 3 be removed since exceptions are builtin?

I'm guessing this is a remnant from a transitional period around Python 1.5.

Let's get rid of it.
