All Python versions are (supposed to be) stable :).

I think it's generally perceived that 2.2 is a watershed version. It's
the introduction of "modern" Python, with iterators, generators and
new style classes.

2.0 might be also - 1.5.2 is the last "old" Python, and the version
that has no doubt been irritating to many, due to Red Hat using it as
the default Python in the old versions (pre 8.0). In fact I found
writing for Python 1.5.2 almost intolerable, having to do without a+=1
(writing a=a+1 instead, ah, the pain). ISTR list comprehensions were
introduced back on 2.0 too, but I really started loving them on 2.1
era.
