Thank you for the clarification. I had not gotten that the request was 
for a change, which has a much higher bar to pass than feature 
additions. I was thinking of 'code differently' as in

if sys.version.split()[0] >= '3.3': <use snazzy new feature>
else: <use klutzy old workaround>

but that is not a 'have to' as long as the workaround still works.
