\section{Obsolete}
\section{Obsolete \label{obsolete-modules}}
These modules are not on the standard module search path;
\indexiii{module}{search}{path}
but are available in the directory \file{lib-old/} installed under
\file{\textrm{\$prefix}/lib/python1.5/}. % $ <-- bow to font lock
To use any of these modules, add that directory to \code{sys.path},
possibly using \envvar{PYTHONPATH}.
These modules are not normally available for import; additional work
must be done to make them available.
Those which are written in Python will be installed into the directory
\file{lib-old/} installed as part of the standard library. To use
these, the directory must be added to \code{sys.path}, possibly using
\envvar{PYTHONPATH}.
Obsolete extension modules written in C are not built by default.
Under \UNIX, these must be enabled by uncommenting the appropriate
lines in \file{Modules/Setup} in the build tree and either rebuilding
Python if the modules are statically linked, or building and
installing the shared object if using dynamically-loaded extensions.
