4607	Django is always using Python 2.3 fallback methods	Chris Beaven	Adrian Holovaty	"Throughout Django, the following way is used to fall back import the Python 2.3 methods if the Python 2.4+ builtin methods `set` and `reversed` do not exist:
{{{
if hasattr(__builtins__, 'set'):
    ...
}}}

But Django is converting `__builtins__` to a dict somehow, when it's usually a module (try `>>> type(__builtins__)` from a manage.py shell then from a normal Python shell), and a dict doesn't have the attribute `set` (or `reversed`)."		closed	Core (Other)	dev		fixed	performance		Ready for checkin	1	0	0	0	0	0
