then by all means, 2.3.2.  These audits seem to be hard to get going
on a regular basis (we've been on python 2.1.3 for how long now?)
so I see no point in blessing a version of python that's already not
latest-and-greatest.

The only counterargument i can think of is that 2.3 may not be
bundled with many linux distros yet. I've always compiled my own
python for use with zope, so I don't know how big a deal that is.
