Ridiculously minor nit, but there's no reason to assign to test:

     try:
         enumerate
     except NameError:
         def enumerate(iterable):
             ...
     try:
         sorted
     except NameError:
         def sorted(iterable, cmp=None, key=None, reverse=False):
             ...

Just evaluating the expression 'enumerate' or 'sorted' should raise the 
NameError if they don't exist.
