On 2.7, >>> license() return a text that includes a complete list of 
releases from 1.6 to 2.7 and stops there
     Release         Derived     Year        Owner       GPL-
                     from                                compatible? (1)

     0.9.0 thru 1.2              1991-1995   CWI         yes
     1.3 thru 1.5.2  1.2         1995-1999   CNRI        yes
     1.6             1.5.2       2000        CNRI        no
     2.0             1.6         2000        BeOpen.com  no
...
     2.6.5           2.6.4       2010        PSF         yes
     2.7             2.6         2010        PSF         yes

Was it intentional to stop with 2.7 and not continue with 2.7.1, etc?

On 3.3.2, the 2.x list ends with 2.6.5 and never mentions 2.7. Intentional?
It then jumps back to 3.0 and ends with the 'previous' release, 3.3.1. 
Should 3.3.2 be included in the 3.3.2 list?

...
     2.6.4           2.6.3       2009        PSF         yes
     2.6.5           2.6.4       2010        PSF         yes
     3.0             2.6         2008        PSF         yes
     3.0.1           3.0         2009        PSF         yes
...
     3.2.4           3.2.3       2013        PSF         yes

     3.3.1           3.3.0       2013        PSF         yes
