ParaView already has 2.4-isms, so 2.3 is already a no-go there taking
the entire codebase into consideration:

  - set() [1]
    Catalyst/catalyze.py:  cs_modules = set()
    Plugins/PythonQtPlugin/WrapPythonQt.py:    includeClasses = set()
    Plugins/pvblot/timestep_selection.py:            indices_set = set()
    Web/Python/_argparse.py:        group_actions = set()
  - @classmethod and @staticmethod [2]
    Web/Applications/DataProber/server/pv_web_data_prober.py:    @classmethod
  - subprocess module [3]
    Catalyst/catalyze.py:import subprocess
