Python poly obsolete?

[Thierry Lam]

I have a piece of python code which goes like the following:

import poly

list = [1, 2, 3]

result = poly.scan(list)

I'm using Python 2.3.4 and I don't think that poly library is working
properly, I read somewhere that's it's obsolete now. What's the
alternative?

Thanks
Thierry

This module was not useful enough to remain in the standard library.
However, you can find poly.py in /usr/lib/python2.x/lib-old and use
it from there (either adding this directory to sys.path or copying
the file to your working dir).
