Any news from Python 3.11?

ARM
1

I’ve seen that Archlinux has promoted Python 3.11 as the new standard and Manjaro X86 did it 4 days ago.
Arm Archlinux has rebuilt the Python package also.
Si, do you plan to promote it as well ?

Are you sure you’re not talking of Python 3.12, which was released this morning? :stuck_out_tongue:

I don’t know if it was supposed to be funny but I was talking about 3.11 (see [Unstable Update] 2023-05-03 - Python 3.11, GCC 13)

It was. :wink:

I’m already on the instable branch .
I’ve checked the mirrors and it is not available.
BTW, I’m very calm and I was just asking a question.

You can ask @felixonmars here, he is Arch maintainer of Python. :wink:

I know he is one of the greatest Arch maintainers.

It was a joke, in reference to something I posted in the Member Hub earlier today. I have no interest in Python, and I’m not a programmer. :wink:

I use 3.11 as default version in konsole since last year :wink: i use pyenv

And, if i want 3.12 ? I can

$ pyenv install 3.12

python-build: definition not found: 3.12
The following versions contain `3.12' in the name:
  3.12.0a7
  3.12-dev

Thanks for the tip that I already knew and used. But it can help others.
The main caveats is the dependencies but it works.
I was only wondering because, as I said, I saw now non impediment to promote it for ARM.

Actually they are in the process. When they are done any packages on manjaro-arm side involving python will have to be rebuilt also.

Also since the toolchains are getting a version bump our kernels will have to be rebuilt to prevent any issues with rebuilding any DKMS/3rd party modules.
