At the close of the meeting, the question was raised about using old
compiled python modules with a newer version of Python.
Using an old compiled python module with a newer version of Python does
not work. The Python interpreter checks a "magic number" looking for a
version match. I suspect the main issue would be the compiled libraries
that get used in the background. I tested using a 2.3.3 pyc against the
2.4.3 interpreter. You should be OK with minor upgrades (e.g.2.3.3 to
2.3.4).
