New submission from Christian Heimes: A while ago I created a backport of statistics to Python 2.6 to 3.3. [1] It worked pretty and required just a few modifications to the code. I'd like to add most modifications to 3.4 to simplify backporting.
The modifications are: * from __future__ import division * replace super() with super(MySuperClass, self) * changes to doc tests because Python 2 has slightly different represenstations (<type 'float'> / <class'float'>, longer float repr) * "import collections" -> "from collections import Counter" so I can simply add a Counter class for 2.6 * "import math" -> "from math import isfinite" so it's easier to add a isfinite() function for 2.x The patch does neither remove "raise ... from None" nor does it add a 2.x isfinite or range = xrange. The backport still needs some patches but I can keep the amount of changes rather small.
