From: "Andrew M. Kuchling" <akuchlin@mems-exchange.org>

    Python 1.6 has been renumbered Python 2.0, and Guido explains
    why:  "While Python users have grown fond of Python's exceedingly
    small version number increments, those low version numbers make
    parts of the rest of the world think that Python is barely out of
    its first alpha test. Especially enterprise customers are often
    fearful of anything that's version 1.x!"  Ah, marketing!

    An alpha version of a Palm Pilot port of Python-1.5.2+ is
    announced: (Presumably 1.5.2+ means 1.5.2 plus some of the
    changes from the CVS tree) "This release includes the modified
    Python source and tools for creating Palm applications from Python
    modules.  ... We emphasize that this is an alpha release and is
    deficient in many respects."
