[Doc-SIG] Re: Updates to Docutils

[David Goodger]

I have fixed the remaining (known) bugs related to Python 2.3 and PyXML.

Fred Drake pointed out that Python 2.1 didn't have the "compiler" package as
part of the standard library (it was a separate install), and that's crucial
to the Python Source Reader work that's ongoing.  Therefore I've decided to
upgrade the minimum Python requirement to 2.2 (2.2.2 recommended).
Everything except the test suite and the docutils/readers/python code still
works with Python 2.1 though.
