If you possibly can, also act on Ned's ending comment and either get the 
source for the later 3.3.5, with a few hundred bug fixes since 3.3.2, or 
for 3.4.0+, which will have the same fixes.  Both are available from 
python.org. I did check that the same test is currently passing on the 
RHEL buildbots testing the repository version of 3.4.1+.
