The general rule is this: *Only* Python 3 breaks backwards compatibility. If it works in Python 2.n then it will work unmodified in Python 2.(n+1).

Usually newer versions are not as widely supported as older ones as far as third party modules go. /W -- INVALID? DE! -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
