On behalf of the Python development team, I'm quite happy to announce the
Python 3.3.3 release candidate 1.

Python 3.3.3 includes several security fixes and over 150 bug fixes compared to
the Python 3.3.2 release.

This release fully supports OS X 10.9 Mavericks. In particular, this release
fixes an issue that could cause previous versions of Python to crash when typing
in interactive mode on OS X 10.9.

Python 3.3.3 also contains a new batteries-included feature for OS X users of
IDLE and other Tkinter-based programs. The python.org Mac OS X 64-bit/32-bit
x86-64/i386 Installer for OS X 10.6+ now includes its own builtin version of
Tcl/Tk 8.5. It is no longer necessary to install a third-party version of
Tcl/Tk 8.5 to workaround the problematic system versions. See
http://www.python.org/download/mac/tcltk/ for more information.

Python 3.3 includes a range of improvements of the 3.x series, as well as easier
porting between 2.x and 3.x. In total, almost 500 API items are new or improved
in Python 3.3. For a more extensive list of changes in the 3.3 series, see

http://docs.python.org/3.3/whatsnew/3.3.html

and for the detailed changelog of 3.3.3, see

http://docs.python.org/3.3/whatsnew/changelog.html

The final version is scheduled to be released in two weeks' time, on or about
the 10th of November.

Enjoy!
