Python version dilemma

    Aahz> Eww.  That would mask a real syntax error (say, introduced by a
    Aahz> typo).  Use an if statement.

That's a bit more complex because the sys.version* stuff isn't the same
between versions, but is obviously an option.  Still, presuming you actually
test your code enough to try importing the relevant modules before shipping
them to a client, you should be able to catch all syntax errors that are not
associated with version changes.
