On behalf of the Python development team, I'm very happy to announce the release of Python 3.3.5.

Python 3.3.5 includes fixes for these important issues:

• a 3.3.4 regression in zipimport (see http://bugs.python.org/issue20621)
• a 3.3.4 regression executing scripts with a coding declared and Windows newlines (see http://bugs.python.org/issue20731)
• potential DOS using compression codecs in bytes.decode() (see http://bugs.python.org/issue19619 and http://bugs.python.org/issue20404)

and also fixes quite a few other bugs.

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
