Yes. All 1.2.x scripts should work on 1.3.x. If they don't, file a bug
report :) It's a good idea to try your 1.2.x scripts now on the
python-bindings-improvements branch, so we can be sure that everything
is compatible.

Yes.

1.2.x scripts should work better than ever on 1.3.x. So I don't see a
need for versioning. :)

That's a good idea.

I'd definitely like to see some of the 1.3.x fixes also go into 1.2.x
so that users of the old bindings can benefit. Do you have ideas on
which fixes would be appropriate for 1.2.x?

I haven't worked on that yet. Send me some sample code, and I'll try
to make it work.

Cheers,
