The documentation for these two modules says that they were disabled in Python 2.3 due to security holes not easily fixable. I have not worked with them, but I can still import them under Python 2.4, so I'm not clear on whether the security problems were fixed in Python itself, or whether the modules remain deprecated (disabled?)? How are/were they actually disabled? Any place that documents what the problems are? Any alternatives?
