Keyword "as" in RuleDispatch

Hello!

In the RuleDispatch package (I use most recent dev snapshot 
http://peak.telecommunity.com/snapshots/RuleDispatch-0.5a1.dev-r2717.tar.gz, 
file src/dispatch/__init__.py, line 22) a global name "as" is set, which 
is a reserved keyword in Python 2.7. That makes the package unusable, so 
I have to patch it locally every time I do an install.

Is that an expected behavior or maybe there are other ways to deals with 
the problem?


Best regards,
