Python 3.12.0 release candidate 2 now available

I’m pleased to announce the release of Python 3.12 release candidate 2.

https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-3120rc2/

 

This is the second release candidate of Python 3.12.0

This release, 3.12.0rc2, is the last release preview for Python 3.12.

There will be no ABI changes from this point forward
in the 3.12 series. The intent is for the final release of 3.12.0,
scheduled for Monday, 2023-10-02, to be identical to this release
candidate. This is the last chance to find critical problems in Python 3.12.

Call to action

We strongly encourage maintainers of third-party Python projects to
prepare their projects for 3.12 compatibilities during this phase, and
where necessary publish Python 3.12 wheels on PyPI to be ready for the
final release of 3.12.0. Any binary wheels built against Python
3.12.0rc2 will work with future versions of Python 3.12. As always,
report any issues to the Python bug tracker.

Please keep in mind that this is a preview release and while it’s as close to the final release as we can get it, its use is not recommended for production environments.

Core developers: time to work on documentation now

  • Are all your changes properly documented?
  • Are they mentioned in What’s New?
  • Did you notice other changes you know of to have insufficient documentation?

 

Major new features of the 3.12 series, compared to 3.11

 

New features

Type annotations

Deprecations

  • The deprecated wstr and wstr_length members of the C implementation of unicode objects were removed, per PEP 623.
  • In the unittest module, a number of long deprecated methods and classes were removed. (They had been deprecated since Python 3.1 or 3.2).
  • The deprecated smtpd and distutils modules have been removed (see PEP 594 and PEP 632. The setuptools package continues to provide the distutils module.
  • A number of other old, broken and deprecated functions, classes and methods have been removed.
  • Invalid backslash escape sequences in strings now warn with SyntaxWarning instead of DeprecationWarning, making them more visible. (They will become syntax errors in the future.)
  • The internal representation of integers has changed in preparation
    for performance enhancements. (This should not affect most users as it
    is an internal detail, but it may cause problems for Cython-generated
    code.)

(Hey, fellow core developer, if a feature you find important is missing from this list, let Thomas know.)

For more details on the changes to Python 3.12, see What’s new in Python 3.12. The next scheduled release of Python 3.12 will be 3.12.0, the final release, currently scheduled for 2023-10-02.
