There is going to be an issue with the current proposal for keeping around urllib. Since the package is to be named the same thing as the module, to handle the new name that means urllib.init will need to gain the Py3K warning for the new name. But that doesn't quite work as the package's module will be imported automatically any time the module within the package is used.

In this context, what's become of PEP 364? Is it still alive? Does it cover this case?

-- Thus spake the Lord: Thou shalt indent with four spaces. No more, no less. Four shall be the number of spaces thou shalt indent, and the number of thy indenting shall be four. Eight shalt thou not indent, nor either indent thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to four. Tabs are right out.
