Sure, given Python versions a.b.c and x.y.z with (a == b) and (b == y), 
they're guarantee'd to be binary compatible. With a != x, the Python 
developers try to keep binary compatibility, but it's sometimes not 
possible.

The reason this doesn't work on Windoze is AFAIK that the extension 
module is linked to a specific DLL, so either python22.dll or python23.dll.
