> I think this warning is both annoying (cPickle is a legitimate module to use in 2.x, since pickle is much slower) and useless (2to3 should be able to do the module rename -- Benjamin, does it?). Therefore I suggest to remove this warning. You may be right, but keep in mind that cPickle and pickle are only mostly compatible with each other. There are uses of one which will not automatically work if you switch to the other.

You may be right, but keep in mind that cPickle and pickle are only *mostly* compatible with each other.  There are uses of one which will not automatically work if you switch to the other.
