Because of the unicode changes, AFAIK. Or was it the multi-arg vs single arg append and friends. Anyway, the point is that their were incompatible changes made, and thus, the magic was changed. --Dan

Python 1.6 reports a bad magic error, when someone tries to import a .pyc file compiled by Python 1.5.2. AFAIK only new features have been added. So why it isn't possible to use these old files in Python 1.6?
