📣🐍📚 Calling all Python library maintainers!

Python 3.13 is now in beta, with the second of four beta releases out later today!

It's now time to start testing your libraries with 3.13 and report any problems back to CPython so they can be fixed before the big October release. And make any updates you need to upgrade your library; keep an eye out for removals and deprecations.

Here's how to test 3.13 on GitHub Actions:

#Python 3.13 has an experimental feature "Free-threaded CPython" to disable the GIL. Extensions can indicate whether they rely on the GIL or not.

🐍🧪 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! 🤞
