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. "

you? They used to be with the Chicago Bears. The two dudes behind you made
the U.S. Olympic wrestling team. And for your information, I used to play
center at Notre Dame."
"Forget it," the customer said. "I don't want to explain it five
times."
