The parent is talking about TrueSkill 2 [0], while the trueskill Python library you linked currently only supports the original TrueSkill algorithm [1][2]. TrueSkill 2 takes into account individual scores of players in order to weigh the contribution of each player to each team. The idea is that this allows TrueSkill 2 to converge faster for new players.
