Summary: Please document pyc format guarantees

Initial Comment:
There's conventional wisdom that .pyc files are
compatible within a single minor revision of Python,
but I can't find any documentation that says this
explicitly.

This assumption is important to Debian's Python
packaging policy, so if it's true, could it be
documented somewhere (probably the marshal or
compileall module documentation)?

Thanks.
