I'd have thought let py3.5 bed in some then take on the task of 3.3, however I suppose it wouldn't hurt. Though "should not be added to PYTHON_COMPAT in new packages" should be fine. I take it here you're only talking about skipping over py3.3 from this point. Adding support to 3.5 systemically would be another topic. -- kind regards Ian Delaney
