Hello, recently I added a few more python packages, and things seem to work well (except for the surprising realisation that more projects than not seem to still depend on python 2 instead of python 3). So I do not expect big changes to the python build system in the near future.
I considered switching from python 3.3.2 to 3.4, but the available versions are 3.4.0a1 and 3.4.0a2, which does not inspire too much confidence; maybe we should wait for 3.4.1. So I would suggest to merge the branch python into master. I did a test merge, and there were no conflicts. What do you think? Andreas
