Python 3.14.0 alpha 6 is out


Here comes the penultimate alpha.

https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-3140a6/

This is an early developer preview of Python
3.14

Python 3.14 is still in development. This release, 3.14.0a6, is the
sixth of seven planned alpha releases.

Alpha releases are intended to make it easier to test the current
state of new features and bug fixes and to test the release process.

During the alpha phase, features may be added up until the start of
the beta phase (2025-05-06) and, if necessary, may be modified or
deleted up until the release candidate phase (2025-07-22). Please keep
in mind that this is a preview release and its use is
not recommended for production environments.

Many new features for Python 3.14 are still being planned and
written. Among the new major new features and changes so far:

The next pre-release of Python 3.14 will be the final alpha,
3.14.0a7, currently scheduled for 2025-04-08.

March 14 is celebrated as pi day, because 3.14 is an
approximation of π. The day is observed by eating pies (savoury and/or
sweet) and celebrating π. The first pi day was organised by physicist
and tinkerer Larry Shaw of the San Francisco Exploratorium
in 1988. It is also the International
Day of Mathematics
and Albert Einstein’s birthday. Let’s all eat
some pie, recite some π, install and test some py, and wish a happy
birthday to Albert, Loren and all the other pi day children!

Thanks to all of the many volunteers who help make Python Development
and these releases possible! Please consider supporting our efforts by
volunteering yourself or through organisation contributions to the Python Software
Foundation
