Don't worry: the recent flurry of discussion is all about 
MacPython, not about unix-Python. Forward compatibility from 
10.1 to 10.2 for unix programs is pretty good, the only problem 
I've seen (runtime-wise, that is) is with programs using curses.

What *is* bothersome, though, is that you cannot easily create a 
program on 10.2 that is backwards compatible to 10.1. Now this 
is probably true on most Unix platforms, but Apple has all this 
wonderful versioning infrastructure for frameworks, and then 
they don't use it themselves:-(
