Python 3.701b released yesterday--who should install it and who shouldn't?

[sparkz_alot]

Like any good software, Python goes through several stages of testing, these being the alpha and beta. There are currently four beta releases scheduled prior to the final stable release. These versions are meant primarily for those people with the expertise and time to assist in the discovery of bugs, omissions, corrections, etc. There is also the issue where a feature may be included in the testing phase but problems may be encountered that can't be resolved before the final release and therefore has to be postponed till a later release.

If your just a regular user, be patient and wait for the final release. As I recall, it's not that far off.
