 Please consider donating more, or even better convince your employer to donate,
 so we can finish those projects! We would like to also point out that in
 September, `the Python Software Foundation`_ will `match funds`_ for
 any donations up to $10k!  The three sub-projects are:
 
-* `Py3k`_ (supporting Python 3.x): We have released a Python 3.2.5 compatable version
