Split the list view code up in three pieces
1. getListContents which returns the required contents dictionary
2. _list which returns the response for a specified list of contents
3. list which constructs just one content dict and passes it to _list
This way it is easier to do step 1 and 2 in other code than list(),
which makes it possible to display multiple list pages (by calling
getListContents multiple times and passing the result to _list).

"""OS cross-platform compatibility tweaks.
This module will, on import, change some parts of the running evironment so
that other modules do not need special handling when running on different
operating systems, such as Linux/Mac OSX/Windows.
Some of these changes must be done before other modules are imported, so
always import this module first.
