Abstracts some compatibility issues for Python 2.4 - Python 2.6.

Python 2.6
==========

The ``json`` module was added in Python 2.6, which previously was in an external
package and called ``simplejson``.  The `compat` module 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


Python 2.5
==========

The ``hashlib`` module was added in Python2.5, after which use of the ``sha``
and ``md5`` modules is deprecated.  You can generically import a ``sha1`` class
from the `compat` module like this:

>>> from compat import sha1
>>> sha1('hello world').hexdigest()
'2aae6c35c94fcfb415dbe95f408b9ce91ee846ed'

And generically import an ``md5`` class like this:

>>> from compat import md5
>>> md5('hello world').hexdigest()
'5eb63bbbe01eeed093cb22bb8f5acdc3'
