Not one, not two, not three, not four, not five, but six releases! Is this
the most in a single day?
3.12-3.14 were regularly scheduled, and we had some security fixes to
release in 3.9-3.11 so let’s make a big day of it. This also marks the last
bugfix release of 3.12 as it enters the security-only phase.
Python 3.14.0a7
Here comes the final alpha! This means we have just four weeks until the
first beta to get those last features into 3.14 before the feature freeze
on 2025-05-06!
https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-3140a7/
This is an early developer preview of Python 3.14
Major new features of the 3.14 series, compared to 3.13:
Python 3.14 is still in development. This release, 3.14.0a7, is the last 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 (2025-05-06) and, if necessary, may be modified or deleted up
until the release candidate phase (2025-07-22). Please keep in mind that
this is a preview release and its use is not recommended for production
environments.
Many new features for Python 3.14 are still being planned and written.
Among the new major new features and changes so far:
- PEP 649: deferred evaluation of annotations
- PEP 741: Python configuration C API
- PEP 758: Allow except and except* expressions without parentheses
- PEP 761: Python 3.14 and onwards no longer provides PGP signatures for
release artifacts. Instead, Sigstore is recommended for verifiers.
- PEP 765: disallow return/break/continue that exit a finally block
- PEP 768: Safe external debugger interface for CPython
- A new type of interpreter. For certain newer compilers, this interpreter
provides significantly better performance. Opt-in for now, requires
building from source.
- UUID versions 6-8 are now supported by the uuid module, and generation of
versions 3-5 and 8 are up to 40% faster.
- Improved error messages
- Python removals and deprecations
- C API removals and deprecations
- (Hey, fellow core developer, if a feature you find important is missing
from this list, let Hugo know.)
The next pre-release of Python 3.14 will be the first beta, 3.14.0b1,
currently scheduled for 2025-05-06. After this, no new features can be
added but bug fixes and docs improvements are allowed – and encouraged!
Python 3.13.3
This is the third maintenance release of Python 3.13.
Python 3.13 is the newest major release of the Python programming language,
and it contains many new features and optimizations compared to Python
3.12. 3.13.3 is the latest maintenance release, containing almost 320
bugfixes, build improvements and documentation changes since 3.13.2.
https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-3133/
Python 3.12.10
This is the tenth maintenance release of Python 3.12.
Python 3.12.10 is the latest maintenance release of Python 3.12, and the
last full maintenance release. Subsequent releases of 3.12 will be
security-fixes only. This last maintenance release contains about 230 bug
fixes, build improvements and documentation changes since 3.12.9.
