I tried building the top packages from python3wos.appspot.com.  Only 
simplejson-3.13.2.tar.gz fails to build due to this change.  However, given 
that it is the top downloaded module, I think think making a change to Python 
that makes it uninstallable by "pip" is a bad idea.  There needs to be a 
transition process.  I'm setting priority to "release blocker".  People can 
downgrade if they disagree with me.

I tried changing the TypeError raises with Deprecation warnings.  That doesn't 
have any effect because DeprecationWarning is filtered by default.  Enabling it 
still has no effect because apparently pip filters it out.

So, I think some other way to warn people would need to be implemented.  E.g. 
have distutils print to stderr.  Change pip to warn as well.
