Brief clarification: some of those patterns were a consequence of us having to run Python 2.5 and 2.6 on older boxes - it's a survival technique, if you will - and having to vendor some dependencies to make it easier to deploy stuff under some other interesting constraints the article won't get into.
On the whole, these patterns make it easier for other people to not break your code when they want to add, say, another set of REST endpoints (which was my main occupation at the time).
