I'm sorry, no.

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "t.py", line 3, in <module>
    hashlib.md5.new()
AttributeError: 'builtin_function_or_method' object has no attribute 'new'

I've seen two ways to handle the situation for 2.4. Either an explict
version check (e.g. bzrlib/osutils.py) or fallback handling (e.g.
http://hg.stuvel.eu/flickrapi/rev/c96a2d1288ef).

But if you don't use 2.6 please feel free to put the issue aside for
now. I don't mind the local changes I've made. But I hope it's okay if
I report 2.6 issues/warnings still.
