Comment 2 Miro Hrončok 2019-01-21 09:32:15 UTC

Python 3.3 is already retired.

It remains in Fedora 28 due to lack of removal options.

It was intended for developers testing their apps. If they memory exhaust themselves while pickling gigabytes of data in their testsuite, I guess it only shows that their testsuite doesn't wok on Python 3.3 and that is exactly while they are testing it.
