There are two relevant tracker issues (both with me for the moment). The main tracker issue for PEP 380 is here: http://bugs.python.org/issue11682 That's really just missing the doc updates - I haven't had a chance to look at Zbyszek's latest offering on that front, but it shouldn't be far off being complete (the *text* in his previous docs patch actually seemed reasonable - I mainly objected to way it was organised). However, the PEP 380 test suite updates have a dependency on a new dis module feature that provides an iterator over a structured description of bytecode instructions: http://bugs.python.org/issue11816 I find Meador's suggestion to change the name of the new API to something involving the word "instruction" appealing, so I plan to do that, which will have a knock-on effect on the tests in the PEP 380 branch. However, even once I get that done, Raymond specifically said he wanted to review the dis module patch before I check it in, so I don't plan to commit it until he gives the OK (either because he reviewed it, or because he decides he's OK with it going in without his review and he can review and potentially update it in Mercurial any time before 3.3 is released). I currently plan to update my working branches for both of those on the 3rd of December, so hopefully they'll be ready to go within the next couple of weeks.
