Finding minimal Python version needed to run a script?

Hello, 

here are some meta-programming questions...

I wonder if there is already some tool to find out what
minimal release version of Python is needed to run a given 
script?

Also, it would be interesting to list specific features used 
in a script that require a certain release.

Would this kind of thing be easy/possible to write using the 
compiler module?

Meta-question: does such a tool always need to be written 
in the latest release of Python itself?

Regards,

Dinu
