Bernard Spil added the comment:
EGD was only necessary for some commercial UNIX systems, versions that needed
it all reached end of life. It no longer makes sense to have any code referring
to it.
EGD needed until OS release date
IRIX 6.5.19 feb 2003
Solaris 2.6 jul 1997
AIX 5.2 oct 2002
Tru64 5.1B sep 2002
HP-UX 11i v2 sep 2003
Please check OpenBSD's patches to remove EGD support from Python for many
versions.
