Namespace for backported Python features
Description:
The backports namespace is a namespace reserved for features backported from the Python standard library to older versions of Python 2. Packages that exist in the backports namespace in Fedora should not provide their own backports/__init__.py, but instead require this package. Backports to earlier versions of Python 3, if they exist, do not need this package because of changes made in Python 3.3 in PEP 420 (http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0420/).
