You'll want to review these:

http://www.python.org/1.6.1/#news
http://www.amk.ca/python/2.0/
http://www.amk.ca/python/2.1/
http://www.python.org/2.2.1/NEWS.txt

But, IIRC, the major changes that hit code had to do with usage contrary
to documented usage, eg sockets that were documneted to require a tuple,
but would work just fine if two parameters were passed in.  All in all
I'd anticipate an easy transition.

HTH,
