Why would it be a functional change, if no new bytecodes are introduced or anything like that? I thought we were just talking about two versions of the compiler emitting different code. It's like if gcc 4.1.3 does some optimization slightly more completely than 4.1.2, so it emits a slightly different code sequence for some function, that does exactly the same thing, but is a few cycles faster. For high assurance you really have to snapshot the entire compiler. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
