-# Magic word to reject .pyc files generated by other Python versions.
-# It should change for each incompatible change to the bytecode.
-#
-# The value of CR and LF is incorporated so if you ever read or write
-# a .pyc file in text mode the magic number will be wrong; also, the
-# Apple MPW compiler swaps their values, botching string constants.
-#
-# The magic numbers must be spaced apart at least 2 values, as the
-# -U interpeter flag will cause MAGIC+1 being used. They have been
-# odd numbers for some time now.
-#
-# There were a variety of old schemes for setting the magic number.
-# The current working scheme is to increment the previous value by
-# 10.
-#
-# Starting with the adoption of PEP 3147 in Python 3.2, every bump in magic
-# number also includes a new "magic tag", i.e. a human readable string used
-# to represent the magic number in __pycache__ directories.  When you change
-# the magic number, you must also set a new unique magic tag.  Generally this
-# can be named after the Python major version of the magic number bump, but
-# it can really be anything, as long as it's different than anything else
-# that's come before.  The tags are included in the following table, starting
-# with Python 3.2a0.

+#
+# The value of CR and LF is incorporated so if you ever read or write
+# a .pyc file in text mode the magic number will be wrong; also, the
+# Apple MPW compiler swaps their values, botching string constants.
+#
+# The magic numbers must be spaced apart at least 2 values, as the
+# -U interpeter flag will cause MAGIC+1 being used. They have been

+# number also includes a new "magic tag", i.e. a human readable string used
