Basically no.  Python 2.7 is guaranteed to be backward compatible with 
Python 2.6.  New or improved functionality will be listed in the "What's 
New for Python 2.7".  In fact if you look at the "What's New for Python 
3.3" you'll find all of the "What's New" going back to Python 2.0.  See 
this http://docs.python.org/3/whatsnew/index.html.
