On behalf of the Python development team, I'm chuffed to announce the second alpha release of Python 3.4. This is a preview release, and its use is not recommended for production settings. Python 3.4 includes a range of improvements of the 3.x series, including hundreds of small improvements and bug fixes. Major new features and changes in the 3.4 release series so far include: * PEP 435, a standardized "enum" module * PEP 442, improved semantics for object finalization * PEP 443, adding single-dispatch generic functions to the standard library * PEP 445, a new C API for implementing custom memory allocators * PEP 446, changing file descriptors to not be inherited by default in subprocesses * PEP 447, a new magic method for metaclasses (_typelookup_) * PEP 448, making automatic sequence unpacking more general

Those last two PEPs are still in draft form and not accepted nor have any committed code yet. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL: <http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/attachments/20130909/4ccde394/attachment.html>
