Is it really *impossible* to "correctly issue a deprecation warning for a module", as the title asserts?  Or does the new import system simply make it *tiresome*?

if sys.version_info.major == 3 and sys.version_info.minor == 4:
  stacklevel = 8
elif  sys.version_info.major == 3 and sys.version_info.minor == 4:
  stacklevel = 10
else:
  stacklevel = 2 # I bet they fixed it in 3.6!

warnings.warn("{} is deprecated".format(__name__), DeprecationWarning,
              stacklevel=stacklevel)


That's Python for you, doing six "impossible" things before breakfast.
