Python 3.12.0 alpha 4 released
I'm pleased to announce the release of Python 3.12 alpha 4. https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-3120a4/ *This is an early developer preview of Python 3.12*. Major new features of the 3.12 series, compared to 3.11 Python 3.12 is still in development. This release, 3.12.0a4 is the fourth of seven planned alpha releases. Alpha releases are intended to make it easier to test the current state of new features and bug fixes and to test the release process. During the alpha phase, features may be added up until the start of the beta phase (2023-05-08) and, if necessary, may be modified or deleted up until the release candidate phase (2023-07-31). Please keep in mind that this is a preview release and its use is *not *recommended for production environments. Many new features for Python 3.12 are still being planned and written. Among the new major new features and changes so far: - Even more improved error messages. More exceptions potentially caused by typos now make suggestions to the user. - Support for the Linux perf profiler to report Python function names in traces. - The deprecated wstr and wstr_length members of the C implementation of unicode objects were removed, per PEP 623 <https://peps.python.org/pep-0623>. - In the unittest module, a number of long deprecated methods and classes were removed. (They had been deprecated since Python 3.1 or 3.2). - The deprecated smtpd and distutils modules have been removed (see PEP 594 <https://peps.python.org/pep-0594/> and PEP 632 <https://peps.python.org/pep-0632/>). The setuptools package (installed by default in virtualenvs and many other places) continues to provide the distutils module. - A number of other old, broken and deprecated functions, classes and methods have been removed. - (Hey,* fellow core developer*, if a feature you find important is missing from this list, let Thomas know .) For more details on the changes to Python 3.12, see What's new in Python 3.12 <https://docs.python.org/dev/whatsnew/3.12.html>.

No, you don't understand. There is no PSU, and Steven doesn't know about them (since it doesn't exist), and he nor I were held captive by the PSU, since it doesn't exist.

Re: Guido at Google
This would contribute to its success. I don't understand where your confidence in these matters comes from. The 'this' you refer to *might*, in fact, increase the evolution-speed, although at what cost I am uncertain. I wouldn't be surprised if it cost Python, or the Python community, its soul. There are a great many people who think Python is already evolving at quite a high speed, and would rather see it slow down than speed up. I am almost, but not quite, in that camp; I think Python is nigh perfect as it is, but I have enormous respect for the active Python developers, who by and large are insanely smart people, and I can't but love and be terribly excited with everything they think up next. And they're friendly people, to boot. A higher evolution *might* contribute to Python's success. It may also contribute to its downfall. Forcing an open-source community to do something it doesn't want to do will *certainly* lead to its downfall. Spam-spam-spam'ly y'rs, [1] Either that, or Guido used the time machine to go back and change his mind. Or everyone else's. -- Thomas Wouters <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Hi!

mail.python.org disruption
[ Mailed to python-dev and python-list, as that should cover most of the users ;P ]There was a slight disruption on mail.python.org this morning. For about three and a half hours, it was rejecting most of its mail with the message: Client host [] blocked using singlehop.dsbl.org; Your mail has been rejected because the server you are sending to is misconfigured.The error means mail.python.org was using singlehop.dsbl.org as a DNSBL list, but that list doesn't exist, so it rejects all mail. Someone (not me :) added that blacklist at 08:15 local time (07:15 GMT) and I fixed it at 11:46 (10:46 GMT). Blame lingering PyCon-jetlag for me not catching it earlier, sorry. About 7759 mails were bounced, although a decent portion of them will have been actual spam (of which python.org gets massive amounts.) If you sent legitimate mail in that period, and got a bounce back with a message like the one above, it's safe to re-send it now.Sorry for the inconvenience. -- Thomas Wouters <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>Hi!

[RELEASE] Python 3.12.0 beta 3 released
We’re getting close! 3.12.0 beta 3 has been released: https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-3120b3/ *This is a beta preview of Python 3.12* Python 3.12 is still in development. This release, 3.12.0b3, is the third of four beta release previews of 3.12. Beta release previews are intended to give the wider community the opportunity to test new features and bug fixes and to prepare their projects to support the new feature release. We *strongly encourage* maintainers of third-party Python projects to* test with 3.12* during the beta phase and report issues found to [the Python bug tracker (https://github.com/python/cpython/issues) as soon as possible. While the release is planned to be feature complete entering the beta phase, it is possible that features may be modified or, in rare cases, deleted up until the start of the release candidate phase (Monday, 2023-07-31). Our goal is to have no ABI changes after beta 4 and as few code changes as possible after 3.12.0rc1, the first release candidate. To achieve that, it will be *extremely important* to get as much exposure for 3.12 as possible during the beta phase. Please keep in mind that this is a preview release and its use is *not *recommended for production environments. *Major new features of the 3.12 series, compared to 3.11* Some of the new major new features and changes in Python 3.12 are: - New type annotation syntax for generic classes (PEP 695 <https://peps.python.org/pep-0695/>). - More flexible f-string parsing, allowing many things previously disallowed (PEP 701 <https://peps.python.org/pep-0701/>). - Even more improved error messages. More exceptions potentially caused by typos now make suggestions to the user. - Many large and small performance improvements (like PEP 709 <https://peps.python.org/pep-0709/>). - Support for the Linux perf profiler to report Python function names in traces. - The deprecated wstr and wstr_length members of the C implementation of unicode objects were removed, per PEP 623 <https://peps.python.org/pep-0623/>. - In the unittest module, a number of long deprecated methods and classes were removed. (They had been deprecated since Python 3.1 or 3.2). - The deprecated smtpd and distutils modules have been removed (see PEP 594 <https://peps.python.org/pep-0594/> and PEP 632 <https://peps.python.org/pep-0632/>. The setuptools package continues to provide the distutils module. - A number of other old, broken and deprecated functions, classes and methods have been removed. - Invalid backslash escape sequences in strings now warn with SyntaxWarning instead of DeprecationWarning, making them more visible. (They will become syntax errors in the future.) - The internal representation of integers has changed in preparation for performance enhancements. (This should not affect most users as it is an internal detail, but it may cause problems for Cython-generated code.) - (Hey, fellow core developer, if a feature you find important is missing from this list, let Thomas know .) For more details on the changes to Python 3.12, see What's new in Python 3.12 <https://docs.python.org/dev/whatsnew/3.12.html>.

We *strongly encourage* maintainers of third-party Python projects to *test with 3.12* during the beta phase and report issues found to the Python bug tracker <https://github.com/python/cpython/issues> as soon as possible. While the release is planned to be feature complete entering the beta phase, it is possible that features may be modified or, in rare cases, deleted up until the start of the release candidate phase (Monday, 2023-07-31). Our goal is to have no ABI changes after this release, and as few code changes as possible after 3.12.0rc1, the first release candidate. To achieve that, it will be *extremely important* to get as much exposure for 3.12 as possible during the beta phase. Please keep in mind that this is a preview release and its use is *not *recommended for production environments. *Major new features of the 3.12 series, compared to 3.11* Some of the new major new features and changes in Python 3.12 are: - New type annotation syntax for generic classes (PEP 695 <https://peps.python.org/pep-0695/>). - More flexible f-string parsing, allowing many things previously disallowed (PEP 701 <https://peps.python.org/pep-0701/>). - Support for the buffer protocol in Python code (PEP 688 <https://peps.python.org/pep-0688/>). - Even more improved error messages. More exceptions potentially caused by typos now make suggestions to the user. - Many large and small performance improvements (like PEP 709 <https://peps.python.org/pep-0709/>). - Support for the Linux perf profiler to report Python function names in traces. - The deprecated wstr and wstr_length members of the C implementation of unicode objects were removed, per PEP 623 <https://peps.python.org/pep-0623/>. - In the unittest module, a number of long deprecated methods and classes were removed. (They had been deprecated since Python 3.1 or 3.2). - The deprecated smtpd and distutils modules have been removed (see PEP 594 <https://peps.python.org/pep-0594/> and PEP 632 <https://peps.python.org/pep-0632/>. The setuptools package continues to provide the distutils module. - A number of other old, broken and deprecated functions, classes and methods have been removed. - Invalid backslash escape sequences in strings now warn with SyntaxWarning instead of DeprecationWarning, making them more visible. (They will become syntax errors in the future.) - The internal representation of integers has changed in preparation for performance enhancements. (This should not affect most users as it is an internal detail, but it may cause problems for Cython-generated code.) - (Hey, fellow core developer, if a feature you find important is missing from this list, let Thomas know .) For more details on the changes to Python 3.12, see What’s new in Python 3.12 <https://docs.python.org/3.12/whatsnew/3.12.html>.

[RELEASE] Python 3.13.0a5 is now available
We’re getting closer and closer… Alpha 5 is here. https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-3130a5/ *This is an early developer preview of Python 3.13* Major new features of the 3.13 series, compared to 3.12 Python 3.13 is still in development. This release, 3.13.0a5, is the fifth of six planned alpha releases. Alpha releases are intended to make it easier to test the current state of new features and bug fixes and to test the release process. During the alpha phase, features may be added up until the start of the beta phase (2024-05-07) and, if necessary, may be modified or deleted up until the release candidate phase (2024-07-30). Please keep in mind that this is a preview release and its use is *not* recommended for production environments. Many new features for Python 3.13 are still being planned and written.

[RELEASE] Python 3.12.3 and 3.13.0a6 released
*It’s time to eclipse the Python 3.11.9 release with two releases*, one of which is the *very last alpha release of Python 3.13*: <https://discuss.python.org/t/python-3-12-3-and-3-13-0a6-released/50601#python-3123-1>Python 3.12.3 300+ of the finest commits went into this latest maintenance release of the latest Python version, the most stablest, securest, bugfreeest we could make it. https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-3123/ <https://discuss.python.org/t/python-3-12-3-and-3-13-0a6-released/50601#python-3130a6-2>Python 3.13.0a6 What’s that? The last alpha release? Just one more month until feature freeze! Get your features done, get your bugs fixed, let’s get 3.13.0 ready for people to actually use! Until then, let’s test with alpha 6. The highlights of 3.13 you ask? Well: - In the interactive interpreter, exception tracebacks are now colorized by default <https://docs.python.org/dev/whatsnew/3.13.html#improved-error-messages>. - A preliminary, *experimental* JIT was added <https://docs.python.org/dev/whatsnew/3.13.html#experimental-jit-compiler>, providing the ground work for significant performance improvements. - The (cyclic) garbage collector is now incremental <https://docs.python.org/dev/whatsnew/3.13.html#incremental-garbage-collection>, which should mean shorter pauses for collection in programs with a lot of objects. - Docstrings now have their leading indentation stripped <https://docs.python.org/dev/whatsnew/3.13.html#other-language-changes>, reducing memory use and the size of .pyc files. (Most tools handling docstrings already strip leading indentation.) - The dbm module <https://docs.python.org/dev/library/dbm.html> has a new dbm.sqlite3 backend <https://docs.python.org/dev/whatsnew/3.13.html#id1> that is used by default when creating new files. - PEP 594 (Removing dead batteries from the standard library) <https://peps.python.org/pep-0594/> scheduled removals of many deprecated modules: aifc, audioop, chunk, cgi, cgitb, crypt, imghdr, mailcap, msilib, nis, nntplib, ossaudiodev, pipes, sndhdr, spwd, sunau, telnetlib, uu, xdrlib, lib2to3. - Many other removals <https://docs.python.org/dev/whatsnew/3.13.html#removed> of deprecated classes, functions and methods in various standard library modules. - New deprecations <https://docs.python.org/dev/whatsnew/3.13.html#deprecated>, most of which are scheduled for removal from Python 3.15 or 3.16. - C API removals <https://docs.python.org/dev/whatsnew/3.13.html#id10> and deprecations <https://docs.python.org/dev/whatsnew/3.13.html#id9>.

[RELEASE] Python 3.13.1, 3.12.8, 3.11.11, 3.10.16 and 3.9.21 are now available
Another big release day! Python 3.13.1 and 3.12.8 were regularly scheduled releases, but they do contain a few security fixes. That makes it a nice time to release the security-fix-only versions too, so everything is as secure as we can make it. <https://discuss.python.org/t/python-3-13-1-3-12-8-3-11-11-3-10-16-and-3-9-21-are-now-available/73214/1#p-211771-python-3131-1>Python 3.13.1 Python 3.13’s first maintenance release. My child is all growed up now, I guess! Almost 400 bugfixes, build improvements and documentation changes went in since 3.13.0, making this the very best Python release to date. https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-3131/ <https://discuss.python.org/t/python-3-13-1-3-12-8-3-11-11-3-10-16-and-3-9-21-are-now-available/73214/1#p-211771-python-3128-2>Python 3.12.8 Python 3.12 might be slowly reaching middle age, but still received over 250 bugfixes, build improvements and documentation changes since 3.12.7. https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-3128/ <https://discuss.python.org/t/python-3-13-1-3-12-8-3-11-11-3-10-16-and-3-9-21-are-now-available/73214/1#p-211771-python-3-3>Python 3.11.11 I know it’s probably hard to hear, but this is the *second* security-only release of Python 3.11. Yes, really! Oh yes, I know, I know, but it’s true! Only 11 commits went in since 3.11.10. https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-3/ <https://discuss.python.org/t/python-3-13-1-3-12-8-3-11-11-3-10-16-and-3-9-21-are-now-available/73214/1#p-211771-python-31016-4>Python 3.10.16 Python 3.10 received a total of 14 commits since 3.10.15. Why more than 3.11? Because it needed a little bit of extra attention to keep working with current GitHub practices, I guess. https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-31016/ <https://discuss.python.org/t/python-3-13-1-3-12-8-3-11-11-3-10-16-and-3-9-21-are-now-available/73214/1#p-211771-python-3921-5>Python 3.9.21 Python 3.9 isn’t quite ready for pasture yet, as it’s set to receive security fixes for at least another 10 months. Very similarly to 3.10, it received 14 commits since 3.9.20. https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-3921/ <https://discuss.python.org/t/python-3-13-1-3-12-8-3-11-11-3-10-16-and-3-9-21-are-now-available/73214/1#p-211771-stay-safe-and-upgrade-6>Stay safe and upgrade! As always, upgrading is highly recommended to all users of affected versions. <https://discuss.python.org/t/python-3-13-1-3-12-8-3-11-11-3-10-16-and-3-9-21-are-now-available/73214/1#p-211771-enjoy-the-new-releases-7>Enjoy the new releases Thanks to all of the many volunteers who help make Python Development and these releases possible!
