Plugin found to be working on 1.0rc1 - but needs a patch for python2.6

[sdegrande]

This plugin works on 1.0, but a patch is needed for python 2.6, as the one proposed in #9157, or the following one:

I do not know python's internals, so I don't know which one is the more efficient. I suppose that such a patch is compatible with other 2.x versions of python, but I was not able to check.
