Python 3.11 may only be released in December

The most recent project status update indicates that due to unresolved bugs, Python 3.11 may not be deployed until December.

A high-level interpreted programming language is Python. In 1991, Python's initial release was made.

The open, non-profit Python Software Foundation manages the community development strategy for this language.

The official version of Python 3.11 may take a little longer to arrive, despite the fact that it is a substantial update and offers notable performance benefits for users and developers.

According to a status update on Python 3.11, if its stability doesn't get better by next week, they may have to deploy the finished product in December.

Python 3.11 may only be released in December

Even after a round of other release blockers were fixed, Python 3.11 Beta 4 is still delayed because of "a handful of pending release blocks". Performance problems, potential crashes, and other show-interrupting bugs are among these bugs.

Due to the awful situation of issues right now, Python 3.11 is already three weeks behind schedule. To make matters worse, they may have to resort to delivering two additional beta releases, which would cause a two-month delay.

It was anticipated that the Python 3.11 final will be released around October 3rd, however, as of next week, we should hear if that date would be moved to December.

Although a two-month delay is ultimately beneficial for guaranteeing higher quality from this significant Python release, the timing throws a wrench in the plans for Linux distributions that were supposed to ship with Python 3.11 in the fall.

Fedora, for instance, had already started the move to Python 3.11, but depending on how the release schedule is chosen, it may now need to switch back to Python 3.10 for Fedora 37.
