[issue7459] Magic word incorrect in Python 3

[Guido van Rossum]

Guido van Rossum <guido at python.org> added the comment:

I don't see a bug here. The value returned by imp.get_magic() matches the 
first bytes of a bytecode file. That's all that matters.

Of course, we could remove the global variable and just use the defined 
constant; but that's just an optimization, not a bugfix.

PS. The two uploaded patches look about the same?
