Here's a snippet that I've used to enable set in older pythons.


try: set([2,1])
except NameError:
    # The set builtin is new in Python 2.4.  This statement is for compatability
    # with Python 2.3 / Jython 2.2.  Python 2.2 works with a sets.py from 2.3.2.
    from sets import Set as set, ImmutableSet as frozenset
