Ezio Melotti <ezio.melo...@gmail.com> added the comment: It might be doable for Python and its stdlib, but all the programs and modules that are using the old name will start raising errors if they don't find the old name anymore. If the old name is deprecated for at least one Python version (e.g. 2.7/3.2), these programs can fix it and then, after a few versions (e.g. 3.3), the old name can finally be removed. There is still the pickle issue, even if IMHO it's so unlikely that it shouldn't be relevant.
