New submission from Kevin Norris <nykevin.nor...@gmail.com>:
pkgutil.get_data()'s documentation[1] says it is a wrapper for importlib.abc.ResourceLoader.get_data(), but the latter's documentation[2] says the whole class is deprecated since 3.7. Please either: A. Formally deprecate pkgutil.get_data() (and ideally provide a "nice" alternative wrapper, so that I don't have to muck about with importlib's endless heterarchy of opaque objects which return other opaque objects). B. Modify pkgutil.get_data() to use ResourceReader instead of ResourceLoader. C. (A) or (B) has already been done, just document it.
