New, Improved, and Deprecated Modules New, Improved, and Deprecated Modules
===================================== =====================================
* Stub * The previously deprecated :func:`string.maketrans` function has been
removed in favor of the static methods, :meth:`bytes.maketrans` and
:meth:`bytearray.maketrans`. This change solves the confusion around which
types were supported by the :mod:`string` module. Now, :class:`str`,
:class:`bytes`, and :class:`bytearray` each have their own **maketrans** and
**translate** methods with intermediate translation tables of the
appropriate type.
(Contributed by Georg Brandl; :issue:`5675`.)
* The previously deprecated :func:`contextlib.nested` function has been
removed in favor of a plain :keyword:`with` statement which can
accept multiple context managers. The latter technique is faster
(because it is built-in), and it does a better job finalizing multiple
context managers when one of them raises an exception.

`appspot issue 53094 <http://codereview.appspot.com/53094>`_.)
