Abstract
|
||
========
|
||
|
||
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,
|
||
which is planned for February 2014.
|
||
|
||
|
||

|
||

|
||
|
||
.. don't forget to update final date above as well
|
||
|
||
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
|
||
the crew and the existance of any release-blocking issues.
|
||
|
||
|
||
