That seems to me (in my dark status as a lurker here) to be a brilliant idea. It is already established practice to say something like: "version 1.n of django requires 2.m or later of Python". The practice then would change to: "version 1.n of django requires 2.m of Python or 3.3 or later". I see from reading the text of PEP414 that there is an import hook available to make this feature also work in Python 3.2. Would there be any advantage to requiring support for older versions of Python 3? I can't think of any. Python 3.3 will be an established thing long before a django version using it gains production status. We developers can use hooks and beta versions. -- Vernon Cole
