No, still there:
def encodestring(s):
     """Legacy alias of encodebytes()."""
     import warnings
     warnings.warn("encodestring() is a deprecated alias, use 
encodebytes()",
                   DeprecationWarning, 2)
     return encodebytes(s)

In 3.2, DeprecationWarnings are turned off by default so as to not annoy 
users who can do nothing about them and developers who do not want to do 
anything at the moment. I presume the doc for warnings says how to turn 
them back on.
