Summary: "new" not marked as deprecated in the docs
Initial Comment:
While
>>> help('new')
shows the deprecation of this module starting with 2.3,
the docs at
http://www.python.org/doc/current/lib/module-new.html
don't. Shouldn't they?

I think that nothing will happen here before 3.0. Both
modules are used too heavily to be deprecated.

When searching Python-dev all I could find was discussion
over the eventual deprecation of types. If you deprecate the
types module you still need a way to access the five types
exposed in new.
new is not listed in PEP 4 (Deprecation of Standard Modules).

Shouldn't it be deprecated? Look at the code in new.py.
The only thing I can say in favour of new is that
new.instancemethod() is prettier and clearer than
types.MethodType().

The new module should not be deprecated yet; it is
help("new") that should be fixed.
