[issue42265] Remove binhex module following PEP-594

Thu Nov 5 02:43:10 EST 2020

Steven D'Aprano <steve+python at pearwood.info> added the comment:

PEP 594 is a draft, it has not been accepted. It is premature to start cancelling perfectly good modules and breaking people's code.

If you have some concrete reason for removing the binhex module, other than just PEP 594, then we can consider depreciating it in 3.10 or 3.11, and removing it in 3.12 or 3.13, or possibly later.
