won't build - compile error with 0.3.1.1

[Oz123]

First,
Congratulations for the Makefile - it does make life easier.

Second,
I tried building on Debian Squeeze (python version 2.6) and encountered the following bug:

$ make
python -m compileall -q xl xlgui
python -O -m compileall -q xl xlgui
make -C plugins compile
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/user/Desktop/exaile-0.3.1.1/plugins'
python -m compileall -q .
./daapclient/__init__.py:44: Warning: 'as' will become a reserved keyword in Python 2.6
Compiling ./daapclient/__init__.py ...
  File "./daapclient/__init__.py", line 44
    except Exception as inst:
                      ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

  File "./daapserver/spydaap/metadata.py", line 17
    with warnings.catch_warnings():

make[1]: *** [compile] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/user/Desktop/exaile-0.3.1.1/plugins'

I had no problem building on Ubuntu Karmic Koala.

Thanks,

Oz

For some reason all Debian versions are still on Python 2.5. I think we'll have to stick with that for now.

The "with" error can be fixed by importing with_statement from __future__. Not sure about the "as" error.
