The Python Software Foundation (PSF) has released three new versions of popular programming language Python in what has been a bumpy start to 2022, but Core Python developers are making progress on Python creator Guido van Rossum’s goal for version 3.11 to be twice as fast as its predecessor.
New versions for the Python 3.10, 3.9 and preview 3.11 series are out today and arrived in spite of numerous hold ups, including a “more complex than expected” code signing certificate renewal. Version 3.10.x is the latest feature release series of Python 3, while 3.9.x is the legacy series and Python 3.11.x is the future.
Version 3.9.10 is the ninth maintenance release of the legacy 3.9 series. Python 3.9.10 contains 130 new commits. For macOS, the default installer is a Universal 2 binary that is compatible with Intel and and Apple’s Arm silicon.
