[docs] Suggested (small) addition to python documentation

[Christopher Field]

I was reading the python documentation (which is generally really great) about modules at
http://docs.python.org/tutorial/modules.html
and have a suggestion of a very small addition.
The last line of the second paragraph of section 6.1.3
just before "Some tips for experts:"
says
"The contents of the spam.pyc file are platform independent, so a Python module directory can be shared by machines of different architectures."

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.

"The contents of the spam.pyc file are platform independent (but not version independent), so a Python module directory can be shared by machines of different architectures."
or
"The contents of the spam.pyc file are platform independent, so a Python module directory can be shared by machines of different architectures, as long as they same Python version is used."

Great product. Keep up the good work.
