Python 3.11.4 (2023-06-06) ¶
This is the fourth maintenance release of Python 3.11
Python 3.11.4 is the newest major release of the Python programming language, and it contains many new features and optimizations.
Greetings! Time for another combined release of six separate versions of Python!
Before you scroll away to the download links
Please test the 3.12 beta! Downloading it and trying it out helps us a lot in ensuring Python 3.12.0 will be as polished as possible.
We welcome 3.10 to the prestigious club of security-only releases. It’s officially an old version of Python now!
If you haven’t rewritten all your if:elif:else:s with pattern matching yet, are you even still writing Python?
At the same time, it looks like 3.7 is reaching end-of-life.
Unless another security release happens in June, 3.7.17 will be the final release of Python 3.7. I mean, now that I typed it out for all you to read, I’m sure I jinxed it. But in case I didn’t, I would like to thank Ned Deily for serving as the release manager of Python 3.6 and Python 3.7.
He was my mentor as Release Manager, and continues serving Python as the provider of Mac installers for new releases. Thank you, Ned!
Speaking of installers, Steve Dower used to be the sole provider of Windows installers for Python releases for years now. His secret was a well-automated Azure pipeline that let him build, sign, and publish releases with minimal manual effort.
Now he extended the power to press the blue “Run pipeline” button to more members of the team. Thank you, Steve! This is an important bus factor increment.
In fact, the Windows installers for both 3.12.0b2 and 3.11.4 were made by me initiated by me https://dev.azure.com/Python/cpython/_build/results?buildId=129764&view=results .
If there’s anything wrong with them, well, I guess that means I pressed the button wrong.
