The answer to this question certainly is "yes, if possible". In this
specific case, I wonder whether the backwards compatibility is still
required in the first place. According to PEP 291, Greg Smith and
Barry Warsaw decide on this, so I think they would need to comment
first because any patch can be integrated. If they comment that 2.1
compatibility is still desirable, your patch would be fine (I guess);
if they say that the compatibility requirement can be dropped for 2.5,
I suggest that the entire exec statement is removed, along with the
conditional clause.
