It's already working with Python 2.3, except for some shallow bugs,
and PythonLabs will continue to make sure that it works with 2.3.

But 2.3 is (and will remain for quite a while) a moving target, and
tying two releases together has proven in the past to be a mistake.
So I'm personally more comfortable with recommending 2.2.2 (and making
sure that always works) and leaving the 2.3 compatibility to
PythonLabs, at least until after 2.3 is released.
