+Abstracts some compatability issues for Python2.4 - Python2.6.
+
+The ``json`` module was added in Python2.6, which previously was in a seperate
+package and called ``simplejson``. This hack abstracts the difference so you
+can use the ``json`` module generically like this:
+
+>>> from compat import json
+>>> json.dumps({'hello': 'world'})
+'{"hello": "world"}'
+
+In Python 2.6 the ``parse_qs()`` function was moved from the ``cgi`` module to
+the ``urlparse`` module. Although ``cgi.parse_qs()`` is still available and
+only raises a ``PendingDeprecationWarning``, we still provide some
+future-proofing here so you can import ``parse_qs()`` generically like this:
+
+>>> from compat import parse_qs
+>>> parse_qs('hello=world&how=are+you%3F')
+{'how': ['are you?'], 'hello': ['world']}
+
+For more information, see *What's New in Python 2.6*:
+
+ http://docs.python.org/whatsnew/2.6.html
+"""
