Fedora Update Notification
FEDORA-2013-20336
2013-10-31 01:56:44
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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. There should be no notable 
changes other than slight speed improvement.

This bugfix release also fixes CVE 2013-4238.
