 A second reason for using frameworks is that they put Python-related items in
 only two places: "/Library/Framework/Python.framework" and 
-"/Applications/MacPython 2.6".  This simplifies matters for users installing 
+"/Applications/MacPython <VERSION>" where ``<VERSION>`` can be e.g. "2.6",
+"3.1", etc..  This simplifies matters for users installing 
 Python from a binary distribution if they want to get rid of it again. Moreover,
 due to the way frameworks work a user without admin privileges can install a 
 binary distribution in his or her home directory without recompilation.

 Installing in another place, for instance $HOME/Library/Frameworks if you have
 no admin privileges on your machine, has only been tested very lightly. This
 can be done by configuring with --enable-framework=$HOME/Library/Frameworks.
