ISTM these last three can safely be dropped now.
I'll do this, except there are some issues: * Lib/reconvert.py imports regex. Ok to move regex,regsub,recovert to lib-old? * ./Demo/pdist/rcslib.py & ./Demo/sockets/mcast.py import regsub. I don't know how to convert the uses of regsub to re, any volunteers? Shall I just add doc that they are broken? * A whole mess of Demos and Tools use regex. What to do about them? ./Demo/tkinter/guido/mbox.py:import regex ./Demo/tkinter/guido/ManPage.py:import regex ./Demo/tkinter/guido/tkman.py:import regex ./Demo/pdist/makechangelog.py:import regex ./Demo/scripts/mboxconvert.py:import regex ./Demo/scripts/ftpstats.py:import regex ./Demo/scripts/eqfix.py:import regex ./Demo/scripts/update.py:import regex ./Tools/scripts/pathfix.py:import regex ./Tools/scripts/fixcid.py:import regex ./Tools/scripts/classfix.py:import regex ./Tools/scripts/objgraph.py:import regex ./Tools/scripts/methfix.py:import regex ./Tools/scripts/pdeps.py:import regex ./Tools/scripts/ifdef.py:import regex _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
