i still cant believe this is a bad joke ;) how often do the python guys change
the language definition in such an incompatible way?

the scripts also should be able to detect, that they are interpreted by wrong
version and exit before doing some harm etc.

it will be bit difficult to decide what is the right time window, since
the distribution substantialy vary in the speed how they adopt news and
especially with change which will cause tons of software to be defunct then.
i suppose that on many systems will coexist both versions for a long time.
