Howdy howdy. Unless someone has a better idea, I'm the release manager for Python 3.4. I've roughed out a release schedule, assuming a 16-month period between 3.3 and 3.4. It works out to having 3.4 ship about seven weeks before the PyCon 2014 core dev sprint, so even if we slip some we should still have a fresh 3.5 "default" branch open for some hacking. Here are the dates, note that they're all Saturdays: - 3.4.0 alpha 1: August 3, 2013

Looks pretty good to me, but I'd still like to experiment with bringing this one up a few months (say to April, a few weeks after PyCon US 2013). I'm sure we can land enough interesting features between now and then for people to be willing to tinker with it and give us feedback :)

Cheers, Nick.
