Yeah, I guess that note isn't well written at that. I think the "Note" 
refers to an earlier version of this description that may have said 1.30 
was the minimum required, but not if you were using Python 2.3 or 
higher. I should dig back in the archives and correct this prose. Thanks.

Bottom line: 1.31 is supposed to be okay, but later should be better.
