+ Python 2.3 or later to convert old LyX files and for helper scripts.
+ Note 1: Python 2.3.4 or later is required for exporting LyX files
+ to a pre-unicode format, as previous versions are affected by a bug
+ about the normalization of unicode strings.
+ Note 2: Python 2.4.0 or later is required for the clean_dvi.py script,
+ which, however, is only used on Windows, where at least Python 2.6.0
+ is anyway recommended.
+ Note 3: Python 3.0 or later is not supported.
