Any further thoughts on this? I *think* with either python3 as 3.4 or python34 providing python3 = 3.4 you could later ship python35 providing 3.5, but perhaps it would be cleaner to start with python34. I confess to being lazy and not wanting to submit a new python34 package for review and have to maintain it in a separate git repo. One interesting change from RHEL7 beta->rc is the dropping of libdb4 which python3 currently BRs, although I cannot see any evidence in http://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org//packages/python3/3.4.0/2.fc21/data/logs/x86_64/build.log of python3 actually using it (it seems to be using gdbm instead).
