[RELEASED] Python 3.4.0a1

On behalf of the Python development team, I'm pleased to announce the
first alpha release of Python 3.4.

This is a preview release, and its use is not recommended for
production settings.

Python 3.4 includes a range of improvements of the 3.x series, including
hundreds of small improvements and bug fixes. Major new features and
changes in the 3.4 release series so far include:

* PEP 435, a standardized "enum" module
* PEP 442, improved semantics for object finalization
* PEP 443, adding single-dispatch generic functions to the standard library
* PEP 445, a new C API for implementing custom memory allocators

To download Python 3.4.0a1 visit:

http://www.python.org/download/releases/3.4.0/

Please consider trying Python 3.4.0a1 with your code and reporting any
issues you notice to:

http://bugs.python.org/

Enjoy!

Whoops, looks like I missed a couple here. I was in a hurry and just
went off what I could find in Misc/NEWS. I'll have a more complete list
in the release schedule PEP in a minute, and in the announcements for
alpha 2.

If you want to make sure your PEP is mentioned next time, by all means
email me and rattle my cage.

My apologies to those I overlooked,

Larry, if there are other things you're going to add, update the web
page http://www.python.org/download/releases/3.4.0/ as well - it's the
one being linked in the inter-webs now.
