On behalf of the Python development team, I'm delighted to announce the Python 3.3.0 final release. 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 and changes 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) * A C implementation of the "decimal" module, with up to 120x speedup for decimal-heavy applications * The import system (__import__) now based on importlib by default * The new "lzma" module with LZMA/XZ support * PEP 397, a Python launcher for Windows * PEP 405, virtual environment support in core * PEP 420, namespace package support * PEP 3151, reworking the OS and IO exception hierarchy * PEP 3155, qualified name for classes and functions * PEP 409, suppressing exception context * PEP 414, explicit Unicode literals to help with porting * PEP 418, extended platform-independent clocks in the "time" module * PEP 412, a new key-sharing dictionary implementation that significantly saves memory for object-oriented code * PEP 362, the function-signature object * The new "faulthandler" module that helps diagnosing crashes * The new "unittest.mock" module * The new "ipaddress" module * The "sys.implementation" attribute * A policy framework for the email package, with a provisional (see PEP 411) policy that adds much improved unicode support for email header parsing * A "collections.ChainMap" class for linking mappings to a single unit * Wrappers for many more POSIX functions in the "os" and "signal" modules, as well as other useful functions such as "sendfile()" * Hash randomization, introduced in earlier bugfix releases, is now switched on by default In total, almost 500 API items are new or improved in Python 3.3. For a more extensive list of changes in 3.3.0, see http://docs.python.org/3.3/whatsnew/3.3.html To download Python 3.3.0 visit: http://www.python.org/download/releases/3.3.0/ This is a production release, please report any bugs to http://bugs.python.org/ Enjoy! -- Georg Brandl, Release Manager georg at python.org (on behalf of the entire python-dev team and 3.3's contributors)

Congrats Georg and team! I am incredibly proud of you all for producing such a great release. As the marketeers would say, "Python 3.3 is the best Python ever!" The feature list is amazing. --Guido On Sat, Sep 29, 2012 at 5:18 AM, Georg Brandl <georg@python.org> wrote:

I found:
Sentence two in this paragraph has bizarre structure, probably due to being changed from one perspective to another. Suggestion (which turns out to be briefer): For the common user, this change should result in no visible change in semantics. Any code changes required are described in the Porting Python code <http://docs.python.org/py3k/whatsnew/3.3.html#porting-python-code> section of this document; it will only affect code that currently manipulates import or calls it programmatically.
Thanks. It's really a team effort: a little digging in the hg history says that: * 86 people have committed during the 3.3 development * 70 during 3.2 development and * 55 during 3.1 development No surprise the feature list is so long... cheers, Georg On 09/29/2012 05:52 PM, Guido van Rossum wrote:
