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. -- Ned Deily, nad@acm.org
