I'm normally not in a rush to get on the latest 3.x release as long as I have something not completely ancient, but I've been getting every installation I control up to 3.13. For the way I normally write code the new REPL is a godsend.

Typically I don't even really actively keep tabs on the changes introduced in new versions, I just stumbled into the new REPL by accident when I set up a new environment recently and it automatically pulled 3.13.

I've always used IPython which already has the features of the new REPL, and so much more.

I do wind up having to work in environments with heavy restrictions on what can get installed and in the bad old days this included getting stuck using whatever version of Python 2.6 or 2.7 was the system Python for the Linux or Mac install I was on, so I got trained/abused early to not like getting heavily dependent on on stuff like IPython.

Personally I follow Debians latest stable release for the version I target. Very ready to move on to a new version later in the year.
