It was :ref:`removed in Python 3.13 <whatsnew313-pep594>` after
being deprecated in Python 3.11. The removal was decided in :pep:`594`.

Encoding and decoding in the uu format can instead be achieved using
:func:`codecs.encode` and :func:`codecs.decode`, specifying ``"uu"``
as the encoding.

The last version of Python that provided the :mod:`!uu` module was
`Python 3.12 <https://docs.python.org/3.12/library/uu.html>`_.
