I saw pytypes tries to import backports.typing if it's available, but the author has deleted that package (assuming that's referring to https://github.com/jaraco/backports.typing formerly at http://pypi.org/project/backports.typing/). The useless legacy imports are harmless except that they clutter the code and confuse type checkers. Could they be deleted?
This would be basically a matter of backing out the changes from 9dac181e8.
