Update: Release candidate installers for 3.3.3 and 2.7.6 are now available:

http://www.python.org/download/releases/3.3.3/
http://www.python.org/download/releases/2.7.6/

In addition, a problem in the Tk 8.5 gui library that may affect users of IDLE 
or other tkinter-based applications running on OS X 10.9 has been fixed 
upstream.  "rc1_rev1" installers including the fixed Tk library should be 
available shortly.
