I've back ported class decorators (http://bugs.python.org/issue1759).
Two tests are failing and I need some help to solve the riddle.

Several back ports like the bytearray type and the new io module depend
on a back port of the new buffer protocol. Travis, can you please
increase your priority on the port of your PEP to 2.6?
