In an ideal world, the code wouldn't have broken backwards compat.
However, given the conditions, if Matej is willing to forgo bug-fixes,
it's a reasonable solution. The alternate might be to try moving the
recent/fixed version into the old project and updating tests/data to
work with it. I have some 2.4 production code in which I've pulled 2.6's
zipfile module in to give access to the iterator access (rather than the
.read() method which tries to read in umpteen gigs of data that I just
want to spool out to a file on disk).
Given I really don't care that much about distribution of my choice,
this function
def _choice(self, seq):
"""Choose a random element from a non-empty sequence.
Embedding random.choice from 2.6 in order to get an uniform
results between 2.6 and 3.2, where random module has been
changed because of http://bugs.python.org/issue9025.

/browse_thread/thread/2b000b8ca8c5e98e
Raises IndexError if seq is empty
"""
return seq[int(random.random() * len(seq))]
doesn't seem like something so terrible (and maintenance intense). :)
Thanks for the help though
