sets_: sets compatibility module
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Since Python 2.4, there is a built-in type 'set'; therefore, the 'sets'
module is deprecated since version 2.6.  As far as Roundup is concerned,
the usage is identical; see 
http://docs.python.org/library/sets.html#comparison-to-the-built-in-set-types

Uses the built-in type 'set' if available, and thus avoids
deprecation warnings. Simple usage:

Change all::
  from sets import Set

to::
  from roundup.anypy.sets_ import set

and use 'set' instead of 'Set' (or sets.Set, respectively).
To avoid unnecessary imports, you can::

  try:
      set
  except NameError:
      from roundup.anypy.sets_ import set
