-  - This version of Zope requires Python 2.3.2 or better.
+  - This version of Zope requires Python 2.3.3 or better.  Version
+    2.3.5 is the preferred version, as it contains several bugfixes
+    which affect Zope's operation (see the Python changelog,
+    http://www.python.org/2.3.5/NEWS.html, for particulars).
 
   - The Python you run Zope with *must* have threads compiled in,
     which is the case for a vanilla build.  Warning: Zope will not run
