True.

So far everyone who has replied (including some off list) have said
they are using Python 3.3 which is encouraging. Thank you for
the comments so far.

It looks like we can forget about Python 3.1, and just need to
decide if it is worth including Python 3.2.5 in the short term.

Nothing concrete planned, no. I'll reply in more detail on the
biopython-dev list as I do have some thoughts about this.
