Boto: Python3.4 PendingDeprecationWarning: the imp module is deprecated

[Naddiseo]

The imp module was deprecated in python 3.4 in favour of importlib. It's currently being used in boto/plugin.py

Hi! Are there any plans to fix it? 🤞I'd greatly appreciate it 🤗

Any update on this?

Adding my voice - I find it mildly annoying too.

+1 same issue with Python 3.8

This hasn't seen an update in almost 5 years, so I'm thinking the maintainers don't have the time to tackle this. Perhaps someone from the community could make the fix and PR it? (that someone could be me, I'd just have to make the time for it.)

Still present in boto 2.49.0 and python 3.8 😞
Please fix it, it's very annoying
