Description
https://peps.python.org/pep-0594/
This PEP is interesting since it lists a bunch of modules which will be removed from the standard library in 3.12/3.13. Probably not worth investing effort into getting these modules working if they require built-in support (although any tests exercising the core is probably a good test).
