[Bug 1721840] Re: dl module is missing?

[Matthias Klose]

I'm not sure that this was ever enabled. it's documented as "a highly
experimental and dangerous device for calling *arbitrary* C functions in
*arbitrary* shared libraries".

I'd like to keep it disabled.

Title:
  dl module is missing?

Status in python2.7 package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  The Python 2.7 documentation documents the "dl" module (I know it's
  deprecated and has been removed in Python 3), but it doesn't actually
  exist:

    >>> import dl
    Traceback (most recent call last):
      File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
    ImportError: No module named dl

  Seen with both 2.7.12-1ubuntu0~16.04.1 (xenial amd64) and
  2.7.14-2ubuntu2 (artful amd64).
