🐍🧪 Python 3.13 beta 2 is out!
https://discuss.python.org/t/3-13-0b2-now-available/55056
The macOS installer joins the Windows installer in adding an option to install free-threaded binaries as python3.13t, making it even easier to try it out.
See https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/120098 for all the details, and https://dev.to/hugovk/help-us-test-free-threaded-python-without-the-gil-1hgf for an overview.

📣🐍📚 Calling all Python library maintainers!
Python 3.13 is now in beta, with the second of four beta releases out later today!
It's now time to start testing your libraries with 3.13 and report any problems back to CPython so they can be fixed before the big October release. And make any updates you need to upgrade your library; keep an eye out for removals and deprecations.
Here's how to test 3.13 on GitHub Actions:

I guarantee we'll have a π release! There's a reason my slides all started with a change to 3.15 at the earliest :)

I just kicked off PyCon 2024 with the first talk of the Language Summit (and my first talk at PyCon!): "Should Python adopt CalVer?" It was an interesting discussion, let's see!

I don't know, I initially called it `disable-gil` in my PR https://github.com/deadsnakes/action/pull/123 but Anthony changed it to `nogil`:

🐍🧪 Python 3.13.0 is due out in October 2024 and work is underway to implement *experimental support* for PEP 703 "Making the Global Interpreter Lock Optional in CPython".
As the Steering Council noted in their acceptance of the PEP, to succeed it's important to have community support.
I wrote a little guide on how you can help test out the beta in your project, and help us find bugs in CPython:
