[NewsBot]

A new Python blog post/announcement has been posted!

I'm pleased to announce the release of Python 3.12 release candidate 2.

https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-3120rc2/

 

This is the second release candidate of Python 3.12.0

This release, 3.12.0rc2, is the last release preview for Python 3.12.

There will be no ABI changes from this point forward in the 3.12 series. The intent is for the final release of 3.12.0, scheduled for Monday, 2023-10-02, to be identical to this release candidate. This is the last chance to find critical problems in Python 3.12.

Call to action

We strongly encourage maintainers of third-party Python projects to prepare their projects for 3.12 compatibilities during this phase, and where necessary publish Python 3.12 wheels on PyPI to be ready for the final release of 3.12.0...

We’re in the end game now.

(Too dramatic for this release I’ll admit but I always wanted to say this somewhere)
