All Python 2.6.x syntax is valid in 2.7, but 2.7 adds some new capabilities. It's not strange that someone would want to take advantage of those new capabilities when they're available as part of the target version. This is not really different from someone working in C++. If the target version was C++11, any code written for C++98 or C++03 would still be fine, but there are new features - and new syntax - that can be taken advantage of in C++11 to make life simpler / more robust. Code written using those new features may not compile with an older compiler. Also, I'll note in passing that Python 2.7 was released 10 years ago, and security updates for Python 2.6.6 were stopped 7 years ago, in 2013. Martin.
