That's what I said in the other reply. Python community is stuck with three versions: 2.6.5, 2.7.x, and 3.x (and now 3.3). Cpython should now announce a deadline for support for 2.6.5 and 2.7.x. I don't think 2.7.x is catching up with Python 3.3 branch anymore. I am not sure. The versioning 3.1, 3.2, 3.3 still throwing people off, at least for me.
