 bee% cd svn/debian/pkg-gnome/desktop/unstable/gnome-python-desktop 
 bee% pyversions -vr
 2.3 2.4

 It works here, but I do have XS-Python-Version.  This is with
 pyversions from python 2.3.5-11.

 This looks like the result of `pyversion ...` which would output
 "XS-Python-Version not found" on stderr, but this is only a guess.
