Hm, yes. Here is a (rather slow) replacement:
"""This module is derived from Modules/rotormodule.c and translated
into Python. I have appended the Copyright by Lance Ellinghouse
below. The rotor module has been removed from the Python 2.4
distribution because
the rotor module uses an insecure algorithm and is deprecated.
==============================================================
Of course, this does still hold. However, I think this module might
be used and adapted for demonstration purposes and might help some
poor users who have encrypted (or obfuscated) some old stuff with
the rotor module and have no access to older Python versions any
more.
