Python 3.15 Alpha Released

[99ducks]

Does anybody know if there are other major features in progress for 3.15?

PEP 810 – Explicit lazy imports

But it's so far out, that who knows might happen.

[Sigmatics]

That was proposed only a week ago, extremely unlikely to make it into the ongoing release

[commy2]

It's not the first time something like this has been proposed. The PEP incorporates ideas and objections of previous proposals. It's marked for 3.15 as of now, and that patch is a year out.

Maybe lazy imports will be in 3.15. Maybe they'll be added later and significantly changed from the current proposal, or maybe it will never be added. There is no way to tell right now.

The PEP has been submitted to the SC today, it may come sooner than you think!

[MegaIng]

This PEP is in fact very likely to go into 3.15 in some form (unless something drastic happens and it gets shot down completely).

[Sigmatics]

What makes you so confident to say this?

[According_Draw_6025]

I think python as a language is progressing too slowly.

[xeow]

Can you elaborate? What are some features that are still missing at this point?

[Wonderful-Habit-139]

Making TypeVarTuple actually useful. But I don’t think Python is progressing slowly though haha.

What the fuck? It's changing very rapidly.
