I like to draw some attention to two features for the last alpha:

PEP 370: Per user site-packages directory
http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0370/

Alternative memory allocation for ints, floats and longs using PyMalloc
instead of the current block allocation. The issue has been discussed in
great length a few months ago but without a final decision.
