bisect and Queue modules in Python 2.4

[Abdullah Yoldas]

I had a similar problem when i was using asynchat.fifo, it had a list in the
past now it has a deque. So in order to put something to zeroth location (to
be compatible with python 2.3 and python 2.4) I did something like:

class fifo(asynchat.fifo):

    def __init__(self, list=None):
        asynchat.fifo.__init__(self, list)
        self.have_deque = hasattr(self.list, 'appendleft')

    def push_front(self, object):
        if self.have_deque:
            self.list.appendleft(object)
        else:
            self.list.insert(0, object)
