 * Fix error message using ``approx`` with complex numbers (`#2082`_).
   Thanks `@adler-j`_ for the report and `@nicoddemus`_ for the PR.

+* Remove internal code meant to support earlier Python 3 versions that produced the side effect
+  of leaving ``None`` in ``sys.modules`` when expressions were evaluated by pytest (for example passing a condition
+  as a string to ``pytest.mark.skipif``)(`#2103`_).
+  Thanks `@jaraco`_ for the report and `@nicoddemus`_ for the PR.
 
 * Cope gracefully with a .pyc file with no matching .py file (`#2038`_). Thanks
   `@nedbat`_.
