The feature set of every Pythonx.y version is frozen with the release of 
CPython x.y.0.  Thereafter, each x.y.1+ release only gets bug fixes. 
Note that the new audioop feature in 3.4.0 was not backported to the 
subsequent 3.3.? release.

Python 2.7 is generally no exception, but because of its extra long 
maintenance and projected life, a few security features *have* been 
backported.
