My plan is to begin building the betas tonight, at around 9 or 10pm EDT (0100 to 0200 UTC Thursday). If a showstopper comes up before then, I'll email the list. If you think we really aren't ready for beta, then I would still like to get a release out today. In that case, we'll call it alpha and delay the betas.
I have two release blockers pending review:
http://bugs.python.org/issue2918 http://bugs.python.org/issue2917
I believe both patches are ready to be committed to the py3k branch. However, I would certainly like that someone would review the patches (or at least test them).
Right now, I am currently looking at fixing issue 2919 (http://bugs.python.org/issue2919). The profile and the cProfile module differ much more than I originally expected. So, I won't be able to get these two for the beta.
I have also been looking at http://bugs.python.org/issue2874, in which Benjamin Peterson proposed an simple solution to fix it. Although I haven't tried his approach, I think I could get this one done for today.
Finally, I would like to commit the patch in http://bugs.python.org/issue2523 which fix the quadratic behavior in BufferedReader.read(). It would also be nice to have someone else experienced with the io module to review the patch.
