Name : python3 Product : Fedora 18 Version : 3.3.0 Release : 4.fc18 URL : http://www.python.org/ Summary : Version 3 of the Python programming language aka Python 3000 Description : Python 3 is a new version of the language that is incompatible with the 2.x line of releases. The language is mostly the same, but many details, especially how built-in objects like dictionaries and strings work, have changed considerably, and a lot of deprecated features have finally been removed. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information: This fix makes the Python 3 RPMs contain properly bytecompiled files, so that they aren't regenerated everytime Python starts.
