A bugfix only release (such as 2.2.1 -> 2.2.2) should be fine, as those
commit to maintaining compatibility (unless you were relying on the
buggy behaviour, in which case you're out of luck).

However, I would still lean toward remaining with the same release of
Python, unless one of the bugs found and fixed impacted Chandler in some
way, esp. with regard to security.
