“As part of their efforts to improve and stabilise Python 3.x,
the Python developers have released the forth and final alpha for
Python 3.2, the latest generation of the Python language. Python
3.2 Alpha 4 will be followed by a first and second beta in
December, and two release candidates in January. The final version
of Python 3.2 is expected to arrive on the 5th of February,
2011.

“As one would expect at this stage of development, the
developers have focused on addressing a number of bugs found in the
previous alphas. The latest development preview of Python 3.2
corrects the SyntaxError caret when the offset is equal to the
length of the offending line and includes a variety of fixes for
IMAP, including addressing an issue that prevented logging in or
proper shut down. Various other changes include updates to the
Tools / Demos, Tests and Extension Modules.”
