Brett Cannon added the comment:

This can't change in Python 2.7 because of backwards-compatibility. And I would 
argue this isn't a serious security risk as pkgutil.get_data() typically works 
with string constants and values provided by the library and not user-provided 
values. This is basically the same as taking a value for open() and has the 
same risks.
