No, because the same applies to getopt, optparse and others, which are not in the deprecation list. > Another question is "are there any places using nntplib where `pip install > nntplib`" is not an reasonable option? You could ask pretty much the same question about most stdlib packages. Isn't "pip install ftplib" a reasonable option? How about "pip install email" or "pip install xmlrpc"? The PEP is about "dead batteries". Not "batteries that some people think would be reasonable to install from PyPI".
