[Python-Dev] upcoming stable release?

I'm not a regular around here, so forgive me if this is obvious:

Can anyone give me an idea of when to expect the next 2.3 point release?
2.3.4 dates from May, and I have a vague idea that I need some
more-recent fix from the release23-maint branch.

[background: I have a python-gtk app that may be affected by this bug:
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=149845. The changelog for the
debian unstable python2.3 package says:

python2.3 (2.3.4-5) unstable; urgency=medium

  * Updated to CVS release23-maint 20040705.
    - Remove threading patch, integrated upstream.

I have a vague idea that this may address the same issue, and if so, the
2.3.5 release (being based on release23-maint, I assume) will be safe to
use on all platforms, not just Debian sid.

If I were on debian unstable everything would be fine. Unfortunately, I
wish to also support windows, and on that platform I prefer to use
official python.org releases, which makes me wonder whether 2.3.5 is
imminent.]

thanks, Jason
