What version of Python will ship with ArcGIS 10.2?

[MathewCoyle]

Anyone have the inside scoop on plans for Python in 10.2? Standing pat at 2.7 or taking the jump to 3.3? Seems like a good chance to catch up with the current release schedule since numpy and matplotlib both support 3.3. ArcGIS can't stagnate in Python 2 land forever, but I'm not sure what all would be involved behind the scenes, hopefully someone can give us a peek behind the curtain.

Version 3.x is highly unlikely.
Its possible for a move to 2.7.3, but thats not for sure just yet.
