I'd definitely prefer to try and do something where we aren't
stuck with 3.4 for the rest of epel7's life.

I think a number of fedora infrastructure folks might have input
here, but they are all out at pycon this week... so if you could
hold off until next week at least and I will see about pointing
them to the thread here?

Any further thoughts on this? I *think* with either python3 as 3.4 or
python34 providing python3 = 3.4 you could later ship python35
providing 3.5, but perhaps it would be cleaner to start with python34.
I confess to being lazy and not wanting to submit a new python34
package for review and have to maintain it in a separate git repo.
One interesting change from RHEL7 beta->rc is the dropping of libdb4
which python3 currently BRs, although I cannot see any evidence in
http://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org//packages/python3/3.4.0/2.fc21/data/log...
of python3 actually using it (it seems to be using gdbm instead).
