Would people please be kind enough to hold their horses?  I'm getting 
the impression that this is expected in 3.5, but according to PEP 478 
beta 1 is due on 24th May 2015, so it looks as if somebody has got to 
get their skates on.  Or have I (as usual) missed something, in which 
case I'll apologise now, mainly because it's Saturday 18/04/2015 03:26 
BST and I'm heading off to bed.  Good night all :)
