Chris did mean 2.3.2, which is still unfamiliar to most because it was just
released today:

    http://www.python.org/2.3.2/

This came very soon after the 2.3.1 release, and just fixes a few gross but
obscure platform-specific packaging mistakes in 2.3.1.  In reality and with
benefit of hindsight, what was released as 2.3.1 "should have been" released
as 2.3.1c1 (release candidate 1), and then 2.3.2 should have been released
as 2.3.1 final.

Regardless, 2.3.2 is the best Python in existence (by any criterion other
than "identical to 1.5.2" <wink>).
