I'll also update PEP 291. Cool. While you're at it, the compatibility restriction for modulefinder could also be lifted. Will do. PEP 291 no longer lists any restrictions on ctypes or modulefinder.

Thanks everyone for your responses. I will look at removing the notices in the code when I get a chance. That would probably involve reverting

https://hg.python.org/cpython/rev/381a72ab5fb8 And also the modulefinder.py comment

There are also these commits that could be backported https://hg.python.org/cpython/rev/0980034adaa7 (ctypes) https://hg.python.org/cpython/diff/627db59031be/Lib/modulefinder.py but it might be safer just to leave the compatibility code there, perhaps with a clarifying comment.
