Why that???
I don't see this.
If you have a new python version with a new file that has-to-be-there,
what is then the problem? The new version carries the new file, so I
don't see a compatibility issue, because this version does not want
to be backward-compatible. It just introduces the new file constraint,
and it produces what it needs.

Am I somehow blinded, maybe?
