All was not good when the Sugar Platform page could be interpreted as 
"use this specific version, not older and not newer".

But sparked by above thread I took the liberty to change the "version" 
column to say "minimal version", and changed python from "2.5/2.6" to 
just "2.5" - which in concert should erradicate that potential 
misinterpretation :-)

...and is now :-)

Thanks for the confirmation of my recent changes ;-)
