Hi all,

now that the final PEP scheduled for 3.3 is final, we're entering the next round of the 3.3 cycle. I've decided to make Tuesday 26th the big release day. That means: - Saturday: last feature-level changes that should be done before beta, e.g. removal of packaging - Sunday: final feature freeze, bug fixing - Monday: focus on stability of the buildbots, even unstable ones - Tuesday: forking of the 3.3.0b1 release clone, tagging, start of binary building

I'd like to get the C implementation of the timing safe compare_digest into 3.3. http://bugs.python.org/issue15061

The patch went to several incarnations and I implemented input from Antoine, Serhiy and others. The function finally ended up as private function in the operator module because the _hashlib module isn't available without openssl and a new module for a single function is kinda overkill.
