[Python-Dev] Python 3.4: Cherry-picking into rc2 and final

[Paul Moore]

<http://bugs.python.org/issue20621> is significant enough to be
resulting in a 3.3.5 release - can you make sure the 3.4 fix goes in?
I'm not sure how to find the revision number that contains the fix to
follow the process you outline above, so I'm just mentioning it here &
on the issue to make sure it's not missed...
