Seems like Guido has missed a bet here: namely the case of a script
generated on one platform and fed to an interpreter running on another.
If I were designing it, I would say that any Python interpreter should
take all three variants no matter which platform the interpreter itself
is sitting on. Or is cross-platform support not a Python goal?
In short, any bug report on this ought to go to the Python project.
