http://hg.python.org/lookup/59870239813c documents imp.find_module/load_module 
as deprecated w/o actually raising the deprecation. The code works fine, but 
the API is just crap. So in the name of ease of transition (and my own personal 
sanity), I didn't go full-blown deprecation. The remaining code that uses 
imp.find_module() in the stdlib uses the API's unique properties (e.g. 
executing under a different name in multiprocessing) or directly exposes the 
API (e.g. pkgutil and modulefinder). As for idle, I don't run the tool so I 
don't feel like editing the code and getting it wrong.
