Congratulations on taking it this far.

I'd like to see one of the prominent web pages inform
people that Python version x.yy(?) is required to use CML2.
(I had Python version problems during testing/use of it...)

It's in the README.  Is that good enough?

Then the README should be listed (linked) on one of the 2 web pages
above.  I can't find it without downloading "CML2 prototype
and documentation," right?  I think that it should be
more visible that Python version x.yy(?) is needed, without
having to download the tarball.  Or did I miss the README
somewhere?

Thanks,

I've added it to the project's web page.
