That's a pretty safe bet considering that the factory-installed
"python" on my Linux system is still 1.x and you run "python2" to get
2.x (I haven't done a new OS install in a couple of years, but 2.x had
been out for years when I did the install).  And 2.x is much less
likely to break 1.x code than 3.x will be to break 2.x code.
