Comment (by mjtamlyn):
It's worth noting that `imp.find_module` is the only one of these which is
used in the source code (4 times), the others are only used in tests. Two
of the uses in the main codebase are in a function which needs rewriting
as it's about the old `sys.path` hackery from the old project layout, and
we've already decided we are willing to *maybe* break some stuff there.
There's already a `TODO` to this effect.
The others are in `module_loading` and we will need to write a separate
path for py3+
