This document describes the development and release schedule for
|
|
|
|
|
|
Python 3.4. The schedule primarily concerns itself with PEP-sized
|
|
|
|
|
|
items.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. Small features may be added up to the first beta
|
|
|
|
|
|
release. Bugs may be fixed until the final release,
|
2014-01-14 18:10:09 -05:00
|
|
|
|
which is planned for March 2014.

|
|

2014-01-12 19:54:19 -05:00
|
|
|
|
|
2012-10-17 10:44:24 -04:00
|
|
|
|
.. don't forget to update final date above as well
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2013-08-04 02:52:51 -04:00
|
|
|
|
These are the days we expect to release the software;
|
|
|
|
|
|
Python core developers should note that the revision
|
|
|
|
|
|
used for the release will generally be "tagged" the day
|
|
|
|
|
|
before. However the actual availability of the release
|
|
|
|
|
|
for download on python.org depends on the schedules of
|
2013-09-25 03:07:47 -04:00
|
|
|
|
the crew and the existence of any release-blocking issues.
|
2012-10-17 10:44:24 -04:00
|
|
|
|
|
2014-01-14 18:10:09 -05:00
|
|
|
|
Since posting the original schedule, we've added "beta 3" and slipped
|
|
|
|
|
|
the subsequent releases by three weeks. This is because of last-minute
|
|
|
|
|
|
changes due to adoption of "Argument Clinic". The extra beta will
|
|
|
|
|
|
give these changes extra time to mature.
