I doubt it, from the sound of the rest of the email. Two likely
possibilities: One, he actually just meant "Python 3" and typo'd it;
two, he's abbreviating the version numbers in Java style - Python 2 =
3.2, Python 3 = 3.3, and he now has a Python 4 = 3.4.

Either way, I'd advise him to post to python-list, where people will
be happy to help out. Exact path names would help.
