    Here's the justification for removing cgi - https://peps.python.org/pep-0594/#cgi

    Amusingly that links to https://peps.python.org/pep-0206/ from 14th July 2000 (25 years ago!) which, even back then, described the cgi package as "designed poorly and are now near-impossible to fix".

    Looks like the https://github.com/jackrosenthal/legacy-cgi package provides a drop-in replacement for the standard library module.
