788617f8f0 Remove \versionchanged; the text was too complex for the GNU info
conversion to support.  Keep the content as normal content, with a
note that this applies starting in Python 2.3.

5b11bdd0ed SF patch #581414: info reader bug
The "Matching vs. Searching" Info node is unreachable from the Info
program (but is fine in Emacs's Info mode). This patch seems to fix
it.  This is the only occurrence where the info reader fails, so
probably it could be addressed in the python docs as a workaround.
Forwarded the report to the info maintainer.
