+=== Alternative Imports ===
+
+As the locations and names of some libraries have changed in Python-3, we use the compatibility module (modules/s3compat.py) to implement suitable alternatives. Similarily, the compat module provides alternatives for other objects such as types, functions and certain common patterns.
