Do you mean minor version as in the "4" in 3.4 or as in the micro level ("0" in 3.4.0)?

Minor as in "4". AFAIK the bytecode format only changes with major and minor version (e.g. from 3.X to 3.Y, but _not_ from 3.X.y to 3.X.z).

FWIW, this ambiguity is why I tend to refer to Python feature releases (X.Y) and maintenance releases (X.Y.Z) rather than major/minor (incorrect, since Python version numbering is major.minor.micro) or minor/micro (technically correct, but the major number changes so rarely that calling Python feature releases minor releases usually confuses people).
