Hi all,

Python 3.6.1rc1 was released on the 4th of Match, 2017. This is the first release produced using the new GitHub-based development workflow. Ned Deily, the release manager of Python 3.6, encourages [0] the community to try it out and help detect potential problems.

Therefore we are planning to rebase Python in Fedora Rawhide to 3.6.1rc1.

Python 3.6.1 release is planned for 2017-03-20, which gives us around two weeks to test and make sure that the upstream's new Github workflow works with Fedora.
