   Magic number is a way for a program to recognize its data files. Python
uses magic numbers to recognize its byte-compiled files. Byte-compiled
files differ between versions, so after upgrading (even more after
downgrading) - delete and recreate all your *.pyc and *.pyo files.

           Programmers don't die, they just GOSUB without RETURN.
