Are pyc files independent of the interpreter architecture?
From the tests I've done, with the same ver开发者_运维百科sion of python (same magic number), a 64 bit interpreter can load pyc files made with a 32 bit version of python. And reciprocally I assume.
But is it totally safe? Can this lead to unexpected behavior?
pyc files are stored in the python marshal format.

it seems that the only issue is with encoded integers which are automatically downgraded to 32 bit integers when you read the pyc on a 32 bit machine.
However the pyc format doesn't include 64bit addresses/offset inside it so the same pyc should run on both 64bit and 32bit interpreters.
