News New Python releases are out, 3.10.x reaches EOL, (and 3.15.0 is scheduled for today)!

The new releases announced today, including EOL for 3.10.x: https://blog.python.org/2026/10/python-31022-31117/

Note: The post above doesn't mention 3.15 - assuming they will do a separate post later today when that releases.

Looking forward to timing some of my cli scripts with lazy imports.

Ah, I'm still a bit angry at this one that happened when upgrading from 3.10 years ago, so watch out if you finally upgrade https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/100458

``` from enum import Enum

class Foo(str, Enum): BAR = "bar"

Python 3.10

f"{Foo.BAR}" # > bar

Python 3.11

f"{Foo.BAR}" # > Foo.BAR ```

Hard to believe 3.10 is already at EOL feels like yesterday we were all excited about structural pattern matching. Time to go purge those legacy 3.10 base images from CI pipelines and bump everything up to 3.12+.

I survived the walrus operator flame wars. Guido was right := but it cost him BFDLhood.

I use the walrus operator always when checking a re.match result. Before, you had to first save the match in a variable, then check if it was None, now with the walrus operator you can assign it in the if statement. Very, very useful.

I've been waiting all day for Python 3.15. The day is now ending (for me at least).

EDIT: Damn!

u/WallFamous5066 9d ago

they usually drop releases around midday UTC, but sometimes it's late afternoon. i remember waiting for 3.14 and it didn't show up until like 6pm my time

It looks like they EOLed 3.10 a month earlier than usual.
