Yep, there is more work required. > 3.3 being broken > is a separate issue to upgrading to 3.4 and we should probably fix 3.3 > first, backport that fix to dizzy, and then upgrade to 3.4. No incompatibilities were introduced in Python 3.4 (https://docs.python.org/3/whatsnew/3.4.html). What is your reason to support version of Python, which practically cannot be started anyway and is 2 years old? > I've filed a bug about the startup problem with just python3 installed > (#6967).

In the context of your bug report, please note that manifest file still does not contain reprlib (the same in Poky 1.6.1) https://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/poky/tree/meta/recipes-devtools/python/python-3.3-manifest.inc and there is no "misc" package defined there, so I am really confused what is the mainstream work here.
