Finally! I've been waiting for this for years.
Now I just have to wait 5 more years until 3.12 is sufficiently old that work lets me use it.
Bets on user-upgradable Python on Linux by 2030?

(Of course, then you take on the responsibility of keeping up with patch releases yourself, which is why we use distros. But if it's just a small number of packages on top of a distro-managed base system, it's perhaps not so bad.)
Have you ever worked in a place that uses Python? When someone says to you "hey it's not working" are you really going to say with a straight face "oh yes, you just need to compile Python from source". Come on, this is one of those obviously stupid situations that for some reason people feel the need to defend. It's not defensible.
You don't need to compile Node or Rust or Go or Deno from source to install the latest version.
