Rereading that, I remembered there's more to it for Fedora than just
"hey, here's a shiny new version of Python 3 to be packaged", and I
don't mean the stuff Slavek is working on to let ensurepip use the
system pip installation as a base.

Specifically, there may need to be a security-related change to the
Python packaging guidelines, covering the appropriate use of isolated
mode: http://docs.python.org/3/whatsnew/3.4.html#whatsnew-isolated-mode

There's also a simpler workaround for the issues with the standard
streams when running things in the POSIX locale: setting
"PYTHONIOENCODING=:surrogateescape" will deal with it for user mode scripts.

Cheers,
Nick.
