Progess on the Python3 as 'standard Python' front: Yesterday, FESCO (Fedora Steering Committee?) approved a proposal to make Python 3 (version unspecified, I presume 3.3 or 3.4) the default Python in Fedora 22 (I did not see a date anywhere).

The current release cycle is F20, so this is aiming for late 2014 (and hence will be 3.4).

Note that unlike Arch, the Fedora devs currently plan to leave "/usr/bin/python" referring to Python 2 (see the "User Experience" part of the proposal).

Cheers, Nick.
