Comparing short strings, small integers, and Booleans by identity
(memory address) can work due to optimizations in the Python

It is deprecated in favour of importlib and slated for removal in Python
3.12. Since the return value of imp.find_module('numpy') is unused, the
only effect of calling this function is to raise an ImportError when
numpy is not available; importing numpy directly is already sufficient
to do this.
The imp package is still used in python/flatbuffers/compat.py, but only
on Python 2, where it is not deprecated and will not be removed.
