Hopefully not. The code is valid from Python2.4 -- Python2.7, which covers
basically the last 7 years of existence. (I have yet to see a system with
an older version than 2.4). The code may even be valid for 2.3, I just
couldn't test it because I don't have access to a Python version that old.

Python's not quite as fluid as many people think, and Python2 isn't going
away any time soon, so we don't have to worry about Python3
incompatibilities.

All the best,
Jason
