The module is taken directly from the Python source tree at its last meaningful update, essentially equivalent to the version bundled with Python 3.9, and provides a drop-in replacement for code that still uses the import. It carries no runtime dependencies and is designed to be a minimal bridge for legacy codebases.\n\nThe package is explicitly not intended for new projects. It exists solely to keep existing code running without major refactoring. Maintenance is frozen: the module code will not be updated, only packaging infrastructure will be maintained. The package was first released on 2022-06-29 and the latest release is 2026-01-05.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you have existing code that imports this module and you need to run it on Python 3.12+. Install friction is negligible and there are no known vulnerabilities. However, this is a bridge, not a long-term solution\u2014plan to migrate eventually.
