🐍🧪 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:

The new python 3.13 REPL looks so useful that I might be able to switch from IPython to it entirely!

🎲 Do you like Python's little CLIs? For example:

$ python -m http.server
$ python -m webbrowser example_url
$ python -m uuid
$ python -m calendar

What about adding one to random?

$ python -m random curry "fish n chips" tacos
curry

$ python -m random 6
6

$ python -m random 2.5
1.6423361547011504

Give your feedback on my proposal at
https://discuss.python.org/t/command-line-interface-for-the-random-module/51304

If there's support we might be able to get it into 3.13 before May's beta cutoff! 🤞

@pythonbytes I'm just in the process of catching up with my backlog and in number 378 you talked a bit about time.monotonic.

At EuroPython 2021 I gave a quick lightning talk of its behaviour vs time.perf_counter and found some fun resolution and performance differences on windows.

tldr: if you are platform agnostic/target windows and need a very high clock resolution, look at time.perf_counter instead.

It's the annual Python core developer sprint, this year kindly hosted by @encukou and Red Hat in Brno, Czechia -- thank you!
