That's a pretty safe bet considering that the factory-installed "python" on my Linux system is still 1.x and you run "python2" to get 2.x (I haven't done a new OS install in a couple of years, but 2.x had been out for years when I did the install). And 2.x is much less likely to break 1.x code than 3.x will be to break 2.x code. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
