There are no easy releases these days! :sweat: After a week of delay due to several release blockers, buildbot problems and pandemic-related difficulties here is 3.11.0a6 for you to test.

Many new features for Python 3.11 are still being planned and written. Among the new major new features and changes so far:

• PEP 657 – Include Fine-Grained Error Locations in Tracebacks

• PEP 654 – Exception Groups and except*

• PEP 673 – Self Type

• PEP 646 – Variadic Generics

• The Faster Cpython Project is already yielding some exciting results: this version of CPython 3.11 is ~ 19% faster on the geometric mean of the PyPerformance benchmarks, compared to 3.10.0.

The next pre-release of Python 3.11 will be 3.11.0a7, currently scheduled for Tuesday, 2022-04-05.
