On behalf of the Python development team, I'm happy to announce the
first alpha release of Python 3.3.0.
This is a preview release, and its use is not recommended in
production settings.
Python 3.3 includes a range of improvements of the 3.x series, as well
as easier
porting between 2.x and 3.x. Major new features in the 3.3 release
series are:
* PEP 380, Syntax for Delegating to a Subgenerator ("yield from")
* PEP 393, Flexible String Representation (doing away with the
distinction between "wide" and "narrow" Unicode builds)
* PEP 409, Suppressing Exception Context
* PEP 3151, Reworking the OS and IO exception hierarchy
* The new "packaging" module, building upon the "distribute" and
"distutils2" projects and deprecating "distutils"
* The new "lzma" module with LZMA/XZ support
* PEP 3155, Qualified name for classes and functions
* PEP 414, explicit Unicode literals to help with porting
* The new "faulthandler" module that helps diagnosing crashes
* Wrappers for many more POSIX functions in the "os" and "signal"
modules, as well as other useful functions such as "sendfile()"
For a more extensive list of changes in 3.3.0, see
http://docs.python.org/3.3/whatsnew/3.3.html
The 3.3 whatsnews page doesn't seem to mention PEP 414 or Unicode
literals at all.
