Pay attention to the new 'with' and 'as' keywords

As of Sept. 6th (revision 51767), Python 2.6 has two new keywords: with and as. Python code that uses either one of these words as a variable name will be in trouble. How do I know that? Because the Twisted unit tests have been failing in the Twisted Pybots buildslave ever since. Actually the issue is not with Twisted code, but with zope.interface, which is one of the Twisted pre-requisites. Here's the offending code:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/tmp/Twisted/bin/trial", line 23, in 
from twisted.scripts.trial import run
File "/tmp/Twisted/twisted/scripts/trial.py", line 10, in 
from twisted.application import app

from twisted.application import service
File "/tmp/Twisted/twisted/application/service.py", line 20, in 
from twisted.python import components
File "/tmp/Twisted/twisted/python/components.py", line 37, in 
from zope.interface.adapter import AdapterRegistry
File "/tmp/python-buildbot/local/lib/python2.6/site-packages/zope/interface/adapter.py", line 201
for with, objects in v.iteritems():
       ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

It would be great if the Zope folks fixed their code so that the Twisted tests will start passing again. This issue actually impacts all packages that depend on zope.interface -- for example zanshin, which also fails in the Pybots buildslave for the OSAF libraries (graciously set up by Bear from OSAF).

If you're interested in following such issues as they arise in the Pybots buildbot farm, I encourage you to subscribe to the Pybots mailing list.

Update

I mentioned the 'with' keyword already causing problems. As it turns out, Seo Sanghyeon's buildslave, which is running tests for docutils and roundup, uncovered an issue in roundup, related to the 'as' keyword:
