Python/import.c defines magic word which is used in the beginning of
.pyc files to verify if .pyc files have been generated by compatible
version of Python.
Python 2 supports undocumented -U option increases magic word by 1.
Python 3 uses unicode strings by default and doesn't support -U option,
but seemingly incorrect change was committed in r55013, which causes
that magic word is always increased by 1 in Python 3 in contrary to
documentation, which says that it could only happen with some command
line options.
This problem cannot be fixed in Python 3.1.2 for compatibility with
e.g. 3.1.1, but it can be fixed in 3.2. Additionally documentation in
3.1.2 can be fixed. |
