Woot. +100 on this PEP.

If the stdlib didn't have NNTP support, obviously nobody would suggest adding it nowadays.

Perhaps this is a good reason to keep nntplib in the deprecation list? Another question is "are there any places using nntplib where pip install nntplib" is not an reasonable option? There's quite a lot of time before 3.10 to move nntplib into an outside package. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
