I was reading the python documentation (which is generally really great) about modules at
<div><a href="http://docs.python.org/tutorial/modules.html">http://docs.python.org/tutorial/modules.html</a></div>
<div>and have a suggestion of a very small addition.</div>
<div>The last line of the second paragraph of section 6.1.3</div>
<div>just before<font class="Apple-style-span" size="4"> "<span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 20px; ">Some tips for experts:"</span></font></div>
<div>says </div>
<div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: sans-serif; line-height: 20px; "><font class="Apple-style-span" size="4">"The contents of the <tt class="file docutils literal" style="background-color: rgb(236, 240, 243); padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 1px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 1px; "><span class="pre">spam.pyc</span></tt> file
are platform independent, so a Python module directory can be shared by machines of different architectures."</font></span></div>

</div>
<div>This may be true, but when I tried to distribute my python code as .pyc I was surprised by the fact that they are not independent of the python run system version. So I suggesting one of the following two changes to the line.</div>

</div>
<div>
<div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: sans-serif; line-height: 20px; "><font class="Apple-style-span" size="4">"The contents of the <tt class="file docutils literal" style="background-color: rgb(236, 240, 243); padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 1px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 1px; "><span class="pre">spam.pyc</span></tt> file
