The primary issue for 10.9 was an incompatible change in the system 
libedit's readline compatibility API which could cause Pythons built on 
earlier versions of OS X to crash on 10.9 when used interactively.  
Fixed in the current 2.7.6 and 3.3.4 and 3.4.0rc python.org installers.  
Also, if you are going to use IDLE or Tkinter with a python.org Python, 
make sure you have the latest ActiveTcl 8.5.15.0 (actually .1) 
installed, if possible.
