This document describes the development and release schedule for
|
|
|
|
|
|
Python 3.8. The schedule primarily concerns itself with PEP-sized
|
|
|
|
|
|
items.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. Small features may be added up to the first beta
|
|
|
|
|
|
release. Bugs may be fixed until the final release,
|
|
|
|
|
|
which is planned for end of October 2019.

3.8 Lifespan
|
|
|
|
|
|
============
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
3.8 will receive bugfix updates approximately every 1-3 months for
|
|
|
|
|
|
approximately 18 months. After the release of 3.9.0 final, a final
|
|
|
|
|
|
3.8 bugfix update will be released. After that, it is expected that
|
|
|
|
|
|
security updates (source only) will be released until 5 years after
|
|
|
|
|
|
the release of 3.8 final, so until approximately October 2024.
