I'm pretty sure what he wants to say is that it should let you use libraries written for an older version of Python than you are using, much like the CLR would do if you wanted to use a library written using an older version of C# than you're using (or a different language targeting the CLR, for that matter). I'm pretty sure the claim that Python 3 is "not Turing-complete" is just a hyperbolic mockery of the claim that that isn't possible to do.

N.B.: I haven't worked with Python so if you can actually do this somehow let me just say that that's not the impression the article left me with.
