Is the above actually a good idea though?
What I understand you're doing is embedding the source from
the Python2.6 random.py file, /into/ your project files?
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).
