[issue24199] Idle: remove idlelib.idlever.py and its use in About dialog

[Terry J. Reedy]

Terry J. Reedy added the comment:

Benjamim, I made idlever update from sys.version until removed, so remove it from release process.

Serhiy, yes there are extensions which might possibly use this private api, even if they really should not.  I want to bring Nick (PEP 434 approver) into the discussion of the timing of removal.

Is there any problem with respect to buildbots of raising a DeprecationWarning when a module is imported?  Is so, can a module be excluded from the import all test?
