Existing modules for new Python

[anatoly techtonik]

Hello,

Can anybody tell what happens with existing Python modules when a new
Python version is deployed on the system?
Are they recompiled or reinstalled or left inaccessible in this version?

WBR,

--anatoly t.

Debian python packages trigger hook scripts in
/usr/share/python/runtime.d/ on installation to cause compilation of
bytecode for newly installed versions.

If the package providing the modules in question uses python-support or
python-central everything should be automatically taken care of by the
above process.
