[Python-Dev] backported Enum

[Gregory P. Smith]

I tend to just pick a name and stick with it.  subprocess32 is subprocess
backported from 3.2 (with the 3.3 timeout feature also in it).  unittest2
is unittest from 2.7.

It tends to work.  and it also emphasizes that i'm unlikely to backport
future non-bugfix updates beyond the release mentioned and merely focus on
keeping it stable and available for use on older pythons.

A "backport" namespace is a neat idea but unless someone's going to create
a system for backports to register which versions they are backports from
and automagically have sub-module imports from backport pick the backported
code or the standard library version when the Python VM is recent enough to
not need a backport I wouldn't bother claiming that name.  (and even that
feels like overengineering)
