This let us use different stdlib features which appeared in latest Python versions (including 3.2) throughout all our code base. Now, what I have in mind is to release this as a public module so that everyone who cannot upgrade to a recent python version can benefit of newer features. There's also the logutils project, which aims to bring logging features added in recent Pythons to older Pythons - especially dictionary-based configuration and queue handlers to facilitate working with multiprocessing, ZeroMQ etc. http://code.google.com/p/logutils/

Should we create an informational PEP or other resource to point people towards some of these forwards compatibility options?

Cheers, Nick.
