Ridiculously minor nit, but there's no reason to assign to test:
    try:
        enumerate
    except NameError:
        def enumerate(iterable):
            ...
    try:
        sorted
    except NameError:
        def sorted(iterable, cmp=None, key=None, reverse=False):
            ...
Just evaluating the expression 'enumerate' or 'sorted' should raise the 
NameError if they don't exist.
