I see your point, but IMHO that's Canonical's fault completely if the don't want to include Python 3.3 in their repositories for 12.04 (LTS? really?). Why should the dev's for apps like spyderlib be dragged because of other's incompleteness. Just my opinion, and I do understand the users' point of view.
