Normally PEP291 lists the packages which should remain compatible with previous versions of Python: http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0291/ makeopcodetargets.py is not mentioned there, though. -- Amaury Forgeot d'Arc _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
