As I understand/recall the history, python 2.0 and 2.1 are not "GPL
compatible".  However, 2.0.1 and 2.1.1 (note the micro version
increase) are "GPL Compatible".  So, strictly speaking, you are right
to say that "2.1" is not GPL compatible, however the 2.1 packages
really package "2.1.1" which is GPL compatible.
