[Bf-python] Re: Can't use Python sets in Blender 2.40

[Campbell Barton]

Why not do a...
try:
  dummyset = set() # python 2.4
  del dummyset
except:
  try:
    improt sets
    set  = sets.set
  except:
    raise 'for this script to run a Blender compiled with python 2.4 or 
a full python 2.3 install is required.
