Support Python 2.5 #1

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

I think it should be possible to port to 2.5 before doing th efirst
non-beta release.  The ABC will need to be made optional, and with
statements must be imported from __future__, but apart from that I don't
expect any major issues.

OK, so it's not that simple.  Issues include:
* No ABCs (fixed by gross hack)
* No property.setter decorator (think fixed by defining extra class)
* No heapq.heappushpop (defined in terms of heapreplace)
* No except Exception as e (used sys.exc_info instead)
* No {} formatting (at this point I gave up).
This is too much work for now.  If this becomes hugely popular, look again.
