This part is your problem:
(k, v if type(v) != ListType else sorted(v))

Conditional expressions like that were added in v2.5:
http://docs.python.org/whatsnew/2.5.html#pep-308-conditional-expressions

Here's an untested substitute:

def sort_or_tuple(k, v):
    if type(v) != ListType:
        return k, v
    else:
        return sorted(v)

items = [sort_or_tuple(k,v) for k,v in sorted(self.items()) if k !=
'oauth_signature']

Of course, the more obvious solution is just to upgrade your Python;
it's well worth it!

Cheers,
Chris
