Raymond, what I think you meant is that in 2.x, 'True' is a builtin name that can be shadowed by a user assignment "True = 'not true'" whereas in 3.x it is a keyword name like None that cannot be changed ("None = 'some'" fails even in 2.7).

I checked and the patch is needed in 3.4 and (I presume) 3.5.
