New asyncio release on PyPI?

[Victor Stinner]

Hi,

* The latest asyncio release is now one year old: asyncio 3.4.3 was
released at 2015-03-10.
* Python 3.5.1 was released at 2015-12-07.
* Python 3.5.0 was released at 2015-09-13.

Is there a reason why no new asyncio version was released on the cheese shop?

I guess that we have to find the Git tag which matchs Python 3.5.1,
write a changelog and build Windows binary wheels?

My Windows VM is no more able to build Windows binary wheels. I wrote
a script to build all wheel packages in one command on Windows:
https://bitbucket.org/haypo/misc/src/default/bin/releaser.py

Oh, it looks like asyncio still has an old copy, release.py, which
doesn't support Git.

Maybe because Python 3.3 is no longer getting new releases either?
Probably most people just use the asyncio from the stdlib and are
happy with it.

Does someone need an asyncio version more recent than the version in
your Python 3.4 or 3.5 standard library?

I recall a discussion about installing the PyPI version because it is
more recent, and sys.path tricks to use it instead of the stdlib
flavor.

I discovered that PyPI asyncio releases are useless if you are using Python >= 3.4 because the stdlib version always takes precedence.

Sometimes I just include a copy of asyncio in my code, and use sys.path tricks, but in that case I can just grab the code I need from the latest Python source code or asyncio github, so yet again no need for PyPI package.

That being said, I wish I could install a package from PyPI and it would override the stdlib version.  My code is deployed in Ubuntu 14.04 in production, and I can't easily install Python 3.5 in it.  But that is a separate discussion, I guess.

There will definitely be new 3.3 releases (not CPython).

As for CPython, according to Georg only 3.2 is discontinued:
