+* When an import loader defines :meth:`~importlib.machinery.Loader.exec_module`
+ it is now expected to also define
+ :meth:`~importlib.machinery.Loader.create_module` (raises a
+ :exc:`DeprecationWarning` now, will be an error in Python 3.6). If the loader
+ inherits from :class:`importlib.abc.Loader` then there is nothing to do, else
+ simply define :meth:`~importlib.machinery.Loader.create_module` to return
+ ``None`` (:issue:`23014`).
