 To install Trac, the following software packages must be installed:
 
- * [http://www.python.org/ Python], version >= 2.3
+ * [http://www.python.org/ Python], version >=2.3 (<3.0)
    * if using mod_python together with xml-related things, use python-2.5. expat is namespaced there and does not cause apache to crash any more(see [http://www.dscpl.com.au/wiki/ModPython/Articles/ExpatCausingApacheCrash here] for details).
    * For RPM-based systems you might also need the `python-devel` and `python-xml` packages.
