There is a bit of redundancy in the new wording in installation.sgml:

"The minimum required version is <productname>Python</productname> 3.2 
or later."

There is also a small bit in install-windows.sgml that would be worth 
updating:

<programlisting>
$config->{python} = 'c:\python26';
</programlisting>

Other than that, this looks fine to me, and we should move forward with 
this now.

The removal of the Python 2 contrib extension variants ended up in patch 
3, which seems incorrect.
