While I feel sympathy for the OP, I do have to ask: he's been using Python 2.5 for, what, a couple of years now? How many times did he see the depreciation warning, and almost certainly the pending depreciation warning before that? Python-dev has been talking about making "as" a keyword since at least Python 2.3. Why wait until after version 2.6 is released before saying anything?
It's entirely possible that he did not see the warning. Python 2.5 has a bug where the warning gets silenced by an intervening import.
