My understanding is that what you did:
import xml.parsers.expat
is now the proper way to use expat. After some searching, it seems the sentence about direct use of pyexpat being deprecated refers to
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=2745230&group_id=26590&atid=387667
"The location and name of the PyExpat module have moved in Python v2.6.1 from  xml.dom.ext.reader.PyExpat to xml.parsers.expat"
This is puzzling becasue xmo.parsers.expat dates back to 2.0 while I see no doc for xml.dom.ext... .

The deprecation notice should be deleted from the 3.x docs.
