That lists the changes. It's not clear (at least to me) whether these changes are incompatible.

The section

http://docs.python.org/whatsnew/node15.html

is meant to cover incompatible changes. It shows that there is no 100% compatibility, but that only "borderline" code is affected. Probably the most significant change is that 0xC0000000 is now a positive number, when it used to be negative on 32-bit systems.
