\item Some old deprecated modules (\module{statcache}, \module{tzparse},
\module{whrandom}) have been moved to \file{Lib/lib-old}.
% XXX note how to get them back
You can get access to these modules again by adding the directory
to your \code{sys.path}:
\begin{verbatim}
import os
from distutils import sysconfig
lib_dir = sysconfig.get_python_lib(standard_lib=True)
old_dir = os.path.join(lib_dir, 'lib-old')
sys.path.append(old_dir)
\end{verbatim}
Doing so is discouraged, however; it's better to update any code that
still uses these modules.
% the pickle module no longer uses the deprecated bin parameter.
