I thought as Python 3.4.0 alpha was released 3.3 branch was done. The 3.3.3
release candidate fixes many bugs as per the changelog so would they be
included in 3.4.0?
For how long do the older versions get supported in case of Python? Do bugfix
releases for older versions keeps on happening even when new branch is
released? Isn't that a lot of work to manage so many versions?
How do the Python versions work? For how long is Python 2 going to be supported?
They're also preparing 2.6.9. Older versions get supported for a long
time, not sure of the official schedule. 2.7.x will be supported for
even longer, since it's the last of the 2.x series.
Python takes backward compatibility and long-term support seriously.
