Python 3.9 released

([Development] Oct 5, 2020 20:48 UTC (Mon) (jake))


Version 3.9 of the Python programming language has been [1]released . The [2]changelog , " [3]What's New in Python 3.9 " document, and our [4]recent article have lots more information on the release. " Maintenance releases for the 3.9 series will follow at regular bi-monthly intervals starting in late November of 2020. OK, boring! Where is Python 4? Not so fast! The next release after 3.9 will be 3.10. It will be an incremental improvement over 3.9, just as 3.9 was over 3.8, and so on. "

I value kindness to human beings first of all, and kindness to animals. I
don't respect the law; I have a total irreverence for anything connected
with society except that which makes the roads safer, the beer stronger,
the food cheaper, and old men and women warmer in the winter, and happier
in the summer.
