[Python-Dev] [RELEASE] Python 3.8.6 is now available

2020-09-24 Thread Łukasz Langa 
Python 3.8.6 is the sixth maintenance release of Python 3.8. Go get it here:

https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-386/ 


Maintenance releases for the 3.8 series will continue at regular bi-monthly 
intervals, with 3.8.7 planned for mid-November 2020.

What’s new?

The Python 3.8 series is the newest feature release of the Python language, and 
it contains many new features and optimizations. See the “What’s New in Python 
3.8 ” document for more 
information about features included in the 3.8 series.

Python 3.8 is becoming more stable. Our bugfix releases are becoming smaller as 
we progress. This one contains 122 changes, less than two thirds of the 
previous average for a new release. Detailed information about all changes made 
in version 3.8.6 specifically can be found in its change log 
. 
Note that compared to 3.8.5 this release also contains all changes present in 
3.8.6rc1.

We hope you enjoy Python 3.8!

Thanks to all of the many volunteers who help make Python Development and these 
releases possible! Please consider supporting our efforts by volunteering 
yourself or through organization contributions to the Python Software 
Foundation.

Your friendly release team,

[Python-Dev] Ask a Core Dev Anything! (You can even ask Guido!)

Made you look! [image: :smile:]

Hello Python community!

Next month, from October 19-23, Python core developers will be
participating in our annual weeklong core dev sprint. As part of the
sprint, we will be hosting a Q&A session with participating Python core
developers as a way for us to connect and engage with the wider Python
community.

We would like the wide Python community members (you) to participate and
ask a core dev any questions about Python. https://app.sli.do/event/d4ifvw2o

Please submit your question before using the link above before September 30.

On Tuesday, October 20th, 3 PM US Central time, Python core developers will
get together (online) and answer your questions. The session will be
recorded and will be posted to The PSF’s YouTube channel.

You can see the list of participating core developers here:
https://python-core-sprint-2020.readthedocs.io/community_qa.html#core-devs-participating-in-the-community-q-a

If you have general question about the sprint itself, please either open an
issue or a discussion item in the core-sprint repository:
https://github.com/python/core-sprint

Thanks for being part of this community.
