It looks like the latest Fedora has Python 3.4, though I'm not sure what version is available in the latest RedHat. Don't RH/Fedora users have something called Software Collections that can provide Python 3.4 even on older versions? >Debian Wheezy(aka Stable) ships Python3, but it's Python 3.2.3, and IIRC, >Barry said Mailman3 now needs Python 3.4 in order to be fully supported. > >FWIW, Debian Jessy (aka Testing/Frozen?) has Python 3.4.2. Yep, Jessie will have 3.4, and Ubuntu has had it since Trusty Tahr (14.04 LTS). I don't know about other distros. There's always an intricate version dance we play, but I really think 3.4 is the best base Python version to support. I would be open to merge proposals that help make it possible to run MM3 on older versions of Python 3 (but for sure nothing before 3.2), however everything that I run already has 3.4. Python 3.4 is 9 months old now and has seen two point releases, so while it make take some time for some distros to catch up, I think the release is plenty mature to use as a baseline.
