coding for multiple versions of python

[Tim Arnold]

Hi,
I've got a python based system that has to run on hp unix and red hat linux. 
The Python version on the HP is 2.4 and the version on the Linux box is 2.6. 
There's nothing I can do about that.

I think that means I must have two different libraries since the pyc files 
are not cross-version compatible. No problem for the libs like PIL or lxml. 
But for the part of the system I actually code every day, I'd rather not do 
dual maintenance, having two copies of my code for each platform/version.

I'm guessing I need to configure cvs to copy files to both locations 
whenever I commit. Does that sound right? Is there a better way I'm not 
thinking of?

thanks,
