Updated patch for python 2.6 support

Description Ravi Pinjala 2009-01-27 07:37:41 UTC
rawdog uses "as" as a variable name, even though it's a reserved word in recent Python versions. The fix for this is fairly trivial; renaming the variable in question solves it.

Whoops, that last patch was too hasty - rawdog also uses the (deprecated) sha module. The updated patch fixes both issues.
