But you said they are "forward compatible".  .pyc files from 1.5.2
won't work with 2.1 or 2.2.

There are six things the Lord hates,
    seven that are detestable to him :
        haughty eyes,
        a lying tongue,
        hands that shed innocent blood,
        a heart that devises wicked schemes,
        feet that are quick to rush into evil,
        a false witness who pours out lies
        and a man who stirs up dissension among brothers.

        Proverbs 6:16-19
