Python runtimes generally ensure good forward compatibility as long as you stay on a major version; i.e., code written for 2.4.x will typically work on 2.5.x, 2.6.x, and 2.7.x, and code written for 3.0.x will tend to work on 3.2.x, 3.3.x, 3.4.x.

For me the main issue is not this or that version, or this or that implementation of Python - its the fact that I have to install Python at all, at all.
