This article explains the new features in Python 3.3, compared to 3.2.

PEP 3118: New memoryview implementation and buffer protocol documentation
=========================================================================
* Multi-dimensional comparisons are supported for any array type.
* All array types are hashable if the exporting object is hashable
- and the view is read-only.
+ and the view is read-only. (Contributed by Antoine Pitrou in
+ :issue:`13411`)
+
* Arbitrary slicing of any 1-D arrays type is supported. For example, it
is now possible to reverse a memoryview in O(1) by using a negative step.
KeyError('x',)
+PEP 414: Explicit Unicode literals
+======================================
+
+:pep:`414` - Explicit Unicode literals
+ PEP written by Armin Ronacher.
+
+To ease the transition from Python 2 for Unicode aware Python applications
+that make heavy use of Unicode literals, Python 3.3 once again supports the
+"``u``" prefix for string literals. This prefix has no semantic significance
+in Python 3, it is provided solely to reduce the number of purely mechanical
+changes in migrating to Python 3, making it easier for developers to focus on
+the more significant semantic changes (such as the stricter default
+separation of binary and text data).

+
PEP 3155: Qualified name for classes and functions
==================================================
(:issue:`12170`)
-* Memoryview objects are now hashable when the underlying object is hashable.
-
- (Contributed by Antoine Pitrou in :issue:`13411`)
