It refers to this cookbook recipe:
http://code.activestate.com/recipes/204197/

See also the printed cookbook:

http://books.google.it/books?id=1Shx_VXS6ioC&pg=PA786&lpg=PA786&dq=python+cookbook+noconflict&source=bl&ots=BB413AZ8R7&sig=cnAB-E9rNFolHBEZQTIm_d4Mj3o&hl=it&ei=GT2eSfCtBdWa_gadppHYCw&sa=X&oi=book_result&resnum=2&ct=result#PPA786,M1

However, there is no module to download, and this is on purpose:
instead of blindly apply a "fix" one should
understand what the conflict is: then it is quite easy to
solve it by hand. The recipe discussion explains it all.
