Could anyone please explain to me the comment from _bootstrap_external.py?

# Starting with the adoption of PEP 3147 in Python 3.2, every bump in magic
# number also includes a new "magic tag", i.e. a human readable string used
# to represent the magic number in __pycache__ directories.  When you change
# the magic number, you must also set a new unique magic tag.  Generally this
# can be named after the Python major version of the magic number bump, but
# it can really be anything, as long as it's different than anything else
# that's come before.  The tags are included in the following table, starting
# with Python 3.2a0.
