Comment (by Deil.Christoph@…):

 Hmmm, I just had a closer look and now I think that 3.1.1 is not an
 official update.

 Here's what I think happened:

 The official NOVAS Python 3.1 was released at
 http://www.usno.navy.mil/USNO/astronomical-applications/software-
 products/novas/novas-python

 Then Brandon Rhodes put it up on PyPI at
 http://pypi.python.org/pypi/novas/ to make it easier to find and install,
 e.g. with pip.
 Then he added Python 3 support and fixed one bug and release that as NOVAS
 Python 3.1.1 on PyPI.
 He also has this code at https://github.com/brandon-rhodes/python-novas .

 This is getting confusing, maybe for now hold off on upgrading to 3.1.1.
 Adding the "public-domain" license and removing the Python 2.5 port would
 be improvements in any case.
