Perhaps (un)related, is the release schedule for 3.5.3 set yet? (I'm holding off putting a new version of typing.py on typeshed until that's out.)

I've have just updated PEP 373 to say that Python 2.7.13 release candidate 1 will be released on December 3. The final will follow two weeks later on December 17. If there are delays in the process, the final will likely to pushed into January.

Could it be delayed until 3.6.0 released? I paused fixing non-critical and non-documentation bugs while 3.6 in pre-release stage and this could include bugs that affect 2.7. In additional, we always receive increased number of bug reports in the first one or two weeks after releasing new Python version. Some of these reports are about regressions introduced by bugfixes. If delay bugfix releases after new version release, we could fix regressions caused by backported bugfixes and make bugfix releases more reliable.
