Comment (by aaugustin):
Removing usage in the tests is quite difficult. I tried to use the
replacements from importlib but I keep hitting infinite recursions.
In fact it's a bit difficult to figure out what matters in the test. They
were introduced in #13464 but that ticket is short on details.
If I understand Python's deprecation policy correctly, the `imp` module
won't be removed before Python 4. We could simply silence the deprecation
warning.
The alternative would be to run these tests only under Python < 3.3. The
implementation on Python >= 3.3 is drastically simpler and may not require
as many tests.
