Canonical plans on switching to the Python 3.5 dynamic programming language as the default Python 3 version of the upcoming Ubuntu 15.10 (Wily Werewolf) operating system. Barry Warsaw reports that work has started on rebuilding Ubuntu packages that depend on the Python 3 for the i386 (32-bit) and amd64 (64-bit) architectures in a separate PPA (Personal Package Archive). At the moment, only a partial rebuild was done for the x86 architecture, but everything looks normal.
