Bug#746709: transition: python3 -- change the default to 3.4
Package: release.debian.org
Jessie should ship with Python 3.4 as the default, and with 3.4 as the only
Python3 version. So lets start with making 3.4 the default. Two months ago,
the archive was buildable with 3.4 as the default (not directly checked with
unstable, but with the Ubuntu development release at this time). The majority
of the bugs seen with 3.4 [1] has been fixed in the archive. A bug for
python3.4 should be fixed for the release (#732703, Barry Warsaw is working on
this), and dh-python needs some updates. Rebuilding extensions might affect
ongoing transitions, but we don't have yet that many for Python3.
