There is no need to bump the PYC magic number: the new opcode is used
for code that did not compile before.
If the magic number doesn't change for 3.2, how will 3.1 know it can't
run pyc and pyo files containing these opcodes?

The magic number needs a bump or this change may cause SystemErrors
when older versions attempt to run affected pyc files.

Cheers,
Nick.
