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.
