Python 1.6 has been renumbered Python 2.0, and Guido explains
why: "While Python users have grown fond of Python's exceedingly
small version number increments, those low version numbers make
parts of the rest of the world think that Python is barely out of
its first alpha test. Especially enterprise customers are often
fearful of anything that's version 1.x!" Ah, marketing!

An alpha version of a Palm Pilot port of Python-1.5.2+ is
announced: (Presumably 1.5.2+ means 1.5.2 plus some of the
changes from the CVS tree) "This release includes the modified
Python source and tools for creating Palm applications from Python
modules. ... We emphasize that this is an alpha release and is
deficient in many respects."
