The problem with backporting this patch is that in order for Python to properly recompile any broken module, the magic will have to be changed. Question is whether this is a reasonable thing to do in a patch level release...

Guido can rule as he sees fit, but I don't see any reason not to change the magic number. This seems like a pretty important fix to me.
