Subject: - Detect a Python version change and clear the cache (#857)

summary: Clear cache when a Python version change is detected

When a distribution gets updated it is possible that the Python version
changes. Python makes no guarantee that pickle is consistent across
versions as such we need to purge the cache and start over.
