Guido and I had a brief discussion about this. IIRC, he was thinking alpha around March and release around summer. I think this is aggressive with all the things still to do. We really need to get the ssize_t branch integrated.

There are a bunch of PEPs that have been accepted (or close), but not implemented. I think these include (please correct me, so we can get a good list):

SA 308 Conditional Expressions SA 328 Imports: Multi-Line and Absolute/Relative SA 342 Coroutines via Enhanced Generators S 343 The "with" Statement S 353 Using ssize_t as the index type

This one should be marked as final I believe:

SA 341 Unifying try-except and try-finally
