[Python-Dev] Request for CPython 3.5.3 release

Hi everybody,

I fully understand that AsyncIO is a drop in the ocean of CPython, you're
working to prepare the entire 3.5.3 release for December, not yet ready.
However, you might create a 3.5.2.1 release with only this AsyncIO fix ?

PEP 440 doesn't seem to forbid that even if I see only 3 digits examples in
PEP, I only find an example with 4 digits:
https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0440/#version-specifiers

If 3.5.2.1 or 3.5.3 are impossible to release before december, what are the
alternative solutions for AsyncIO users ?
1. Use 3.5.1 and hope that Linux distributions won't use 3.5.2 ?
2. Patch by hand asyncio source code ?
3. Remove asyncio folder in CPython, and install asyncio via github
repository ?
4. Anything else ?

To be honest, I'm migrating an AsyncIO application from 3.4.3 to 3.5.1 with
more than 10 000 lines of code, I'm really interested in to know if it's
better to keep 3.4.3 for now, or if 3.5 branch is enough stable ?

Have a nice week-end.
