Stability of PYC files

[Stephen Horne]

Are the Python compiled bytecode PYC files stable enough that you can
take PYC files generated by older versions of Python and run them
without the source on newer versions?

Has anyone ever tried to document Python bytecode?

Does jPython compile to Java bytecode, or does it act more directly as
an interpreter, or does it use an intermediate bytecode?


Sorry for the wierd questions ;-)
