By “the new python”, what do you mean?

* Python 2.6.4, the newest released version.
* Python 2.7, a currently in-development version.
* Python 3.1, another new release (but not the latest).
* Python 3.2, a currently in-development version.
* Something else.

I think we'll need you to have a closer look at version numbers; there
is no Python 2.6.6.

Unfortunately, they leave us guessing as to what you what to do, and
what you expect the result to be. I prefer not to guess.

Could you please show an example of a use of these functions —
preferably a complete, minimal example that anyone can run in the
declared version of Python — and what you would expect the output to be?
